RT   "Inflammatory role of two venom components of yellow jackets (Vespula
RT   vulgaris): a mast cell degranulating peptide mastoparan and phospholipase
RT   A1.";
RL   Int. Arch. Allergy Immunol. 131:25-32(2003).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Chemotactic peptide for polymorphonucleated leukocytes
CC       (PMNL), but causing no hemolysis to erythrocytes and no mast cell
CC       degranulation activity at physiological concentrations. Potent
CC       antimicrobial peptide against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
CC       (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MCD family. Mastoparan subfamily.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
