Mastoparan 7 CAS NO.145854-59-7

Mastoparan 7 is a high-purity synthetic tetradecapeptide analog derived from wasp venom, characterized by its amphipathic α-helical structure and enhanced G-protein activating properties. This 14-amino acid peptide (typically INLKALAALAKKIL-NH₂ or similar modified sequence) is manufactured under stringent quality controls with HPLC-verified purity and comprehensive analytical documentation. As an optimized derivative of natural mastoparan, Mastoparan 7 exhibits increased potency in G-protein activation while maintaining similar membrane-interacting properties. It serves as a valuable research tool for studying signal transduction pathways, membrane permeability, and comparative pharmacology of amphipathic peptides.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Mastoparan 7 functions through its amphipathic α-helical structure that enables direct interaction with G-protein α-subunits and cell membranes. Unlike receptor-mediated activation, Mastoparan 7 directly stimulates guanine nucleotide exchange on Gi/Go-type G-proteins by mimicking the intracellular loops of activated GPCRs, leading to GDP-GTP exchange and downstream signaling activation. The peptide's enhanced amphipathicity and cationic charge distribution compared to natural mastoparan result in higher affinity for G-protein binding sites. Additionally, Mastoparan 7 can interact with nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) to facilitate GTP formation, modulate membrane permeability through transient pore formation, and influence calcium signaling pathways. Its mechanism is characterized by receptor-independent, direct G-protein activation with increased efficacy in reconstituted systems.
