Embodiments of the invention are directed of compositions for activation or inhibition of the Octβ2 receptor and uses thereof. The inventors have discovered that the beta adrenergic-like octopamine receptor Octβ2 serves as a key signaling molecule for ovulation and recruits protein kinase A and Ca2+/calmodulin-sensitive kinase II as downstream effectors for this activity. Octβ2R homozygous mutant females are sterile, and display normal courtship, copulation, sperm storage and post-mating rejection behavior but were unable to lay eggs.
