Identification of the octapeptide lophyrotomin in the European birch sawfly (Arge pullata).
Larvae of the European birch sawfly Arge pullata were shown to contain lophyrotomin, an octapeptide liver toxin containing four D-amino acids. Lophyrotomin was previously isolated from Lophyrotoma interrupta sawfly larvae in Australia.
