  • Title: Megascoliakinin, a bradykinin-like compound in the venom of Megascolia flavifrons Fab. (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae).
    Author: Piek T, Mantel P, Van Ginkel CJ.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol C Comp Pharmacol Toxicol; 1984; 78(2):473-4. PubMed ID: 6149098.
    Abstract:
    The pharmacological and immunological properties of the venom of Megascolia flavifrons are compared with those of bradykinin and a number of bradykinin analogues. It is postulated that this venom contains a peptide, megascoliakinin, with a bradykinin-like sequence of amino acids, elongated at the C-terminal end with an unknown structure.
