Biological Activity

[Description]:

Mastoparan X is a GTP-binding regulatory protein (G protein)-activating peptide, and a tetradecapeptide from wasp venom. Mastoparan X acts function by the direct activation of G protein that couple to phospholipase C to cause secretion from various kinds of cells[1].

[Target]

GTP-binding regulatory protein (G protein)[1]

[In Vitro]

Mastoparan X (1.5 mM) interacts with phospholipid bicelles, and results the line broadening[2]. Mastoparan X binds to the membrane, and increases the cell’s permeability to cations leading to a disruption in the electrolyte balance and cell lysis[2].
