Description

Mastoparan is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) toxin originally found in wasp venom. Mastoparan increases GTPase activity and GTP binding, resulting in increases in Ca2+ influx. Mastoparan increases permeability of various cells; it induces degranulation and histamine release in mast cells. Additionally, this peptide inhibits production of TGF-β1 in vivo.
