| Targets |
Mas7 targets heterotrimeric G proteins, specifically activating Gαi and Gαo subunits. As a structural analogue of mastoparan, it mimics the G protein-activating properties of the natural venom peptide. The compound modulates the activity of the Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor family and is integral in biochemical research aimed at understanding complex signaling pathways involved in various physiological processes.

| ln Vitro |
Mas7 (Mastoparan 7) exerts diverse biological effects in different cell types. The effect of Mas7 on endogenous mono-ADP ribosyltransferase activity was in the micromolar range, with maximum activation 205% above basal values. In pertussis-treated plasma membranes, the impact of Mas7 on endogenous mono-ADP ribosyltransferase was shown to be largely prevented, suggesting the involvement of G proteins (e.g., Gi or G0) [1]. Mas7 is a basic tetradecapeptide derived from isp venom that activates guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein (G protein) and induces apoptosis. In smooth muscle cells, Mas7 leads to increased perfusion pressure. Mas7 produces vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction caused by mas-7 demonstrates a slower increase compared to vasoconstriction mimicked by phenylephrine or vasopressin [2]. Exposure of hippocampal neurons to low doses of Mas-7 increases dendritic spine density and spine head width in a time-dependent manner. In addition, Mas-7 promotes postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) accumulation in neurites and stimulates Gαo signaling, raising intracellular Ca2+ concentration [3].
In vitro, Mas7 activates heterotrimeric Gi proteins and their downstream effectors. It possesses membrane-perturbing activity and stimulates apoptosis in smooth muscle cells. The amphiphilic peptide is widely utilized in biochemical and cellular research to study G-protein activity and signal transduction processes. Its ability to activate G proteins makes it a useful tool for investigating receptor-independent G protein signaling pathways. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity of Mas7 has not been extensively characterized. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for in vitro studies of G protein signaling. As an inflammatory component of yellow jacket venom, it may have physiological effects related to mast cell degranulation and inflammation. However, specific in vivo efficacy studies have not been reported.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Mas7 typically involve studying its interaction with G proteins. The peptide is incubated with purified G protein subunits or cell membranes containing G proteins, and activation is assessed by measuring GTPγS binding, which indicates G protein activation. The amphiphilic nature of the peptide allows it to interact with and activate G proteins in a receptor-independent manner.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Mas7 typically employ cells expressing G protein-coupled receptors or downstream signaling components. Cells are cultured and treated with various concentrations of the peptide. Endpoints include measurement of intracellular calcium mobilization, cAMP accumulation, MAP kinase activation, or other downstream signaling events. The peptide's ability to activate G proteins is assessed by comparing signaling in treated versus untreated cells.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with Mas7 have not been extensively reported. The compound is a research tool for in vitro studies and is not intended for in vivo therapeutic applications. As a component of wasp venom, it may have effects in animal models of inflammation or allergic response, but specific studies have not been detailed in the available literature.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of Mas7 have not been characterized. As a 14-amino-acid peptide with a molecular weight of 1421.81, it is likely to be rapidly degraded by peptidases and have limited oral bioavailability. The compound is intended for research use only and is not developed as a therapeutic agent.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Mas7 has not been extensively characterized. As a component of yellow jacket venom, it is associated with inflammatory responses and mast cell degranulation. The peptide's amphiphilic nature and membrane-perturbing activity suggest potential cytotoxicity at high concentrations. However, specific toxicology data are not available. The compound is intended for research use only.
