MCD peptide
Mast cell degranulating (MCD) peptide is a cationic 22-amino acid residue peptide, which is a component of the venom of the bumblebee (''Megabombus pennsylvanicus''). At low concentrations, MCD peptide can stimulate mast cell degranulation. At higher concentrations, it has anti-inflammatory propterties. In addition, it is a potent blocker of voltage-sensitive potassium channels. == Sources == MCD peptide is a component of bumblebee (''Megabombus pennsylvanicus'') venom. In addition to MCD peptide, melittin and apamin have also been identified in this venom and are also described as voltage-dependent channel blockers. MCD peptide is also present in the venom of the honey bee ''Apis mellifera''.
