  • Reactivity
  • Confirmed reactivity: Ricinus communis
  • Additional Information
  • Additional information (application): Antibody is recognizing active toxin complex containing both, ricin A and B subunits
  • Background
  • Background: Ricin is a naturally occuring protein found in castor bean (Ricinus communis) acting as protein synthesis inhibitor. It is a toxin involved in plant defence. A chain of ricin can inactivate few thousands of ribosomes per minute. B chain facilitates the entry of A chain into the cell. Both protein chains, A and B must be present in order to produce an active toxin.
