Agelaia-MP (INWLKLGKAIIDAL) has been isolated from the venom of the neotropical social wasp Agelaia pallipes pallipes (Mendes et al, 2004). Agelaia-MP causes hemolysis of rat erythrocytes and is a potent degranulator of mast cells (see also: MCD peptide family [mast cell degranulation peptide family]). The peptide shows little antimicrobial activity and does not cause chemotaxis in polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
