AbrinToxin | An extremely toxic protein found in the seeds of the rosary pea. Its mechanism, symptoms, and treatment are very similar to those of RicinToxin. However, AbrinToxin is roughly 75 times more toxic than RicinToxin. |
| | Antibody | An immunoglobulin which is produced by the body and which has the ability to neutralize Antigens. |
| | Enzyme | A complex Protein that is produced by living cells and which catalyzes specific biochemical reactions. There are six main types of enzymes: oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, and ligases. |
| | GeneRegulatoryProtein | The class of proteins that play the role of binding to DNA in order to turn genes on or off. |
| | Lipoprotein | The class of lipoproteins. |
| | MotorProtein | The class of protein molecules whose role it is to generate movement in cells and tissues. |
| | ReceptorProtein | The class of protein molecules that play the role of signal detection and transmission to cell response machinery. |
| | RicinToxin | An extremely toxic protein found in the castor bean plant (ricinus communis). It is 200 times more toxic than cyanide, and it has no known antidote, and it causes vomiting, high fever, weakness, and death. |
| | SignalingProtein | The class of protein molecules whose role is to carry signals from cell to cell. |
| | SpecialPurposeProtein | The class of proteins whose role very specific. |
| | StorageProtein | The class of protein molecules whose role it is to store small molecules or ions. |
| | StructuralProtein | The class of proteins whose role it is to provide mechanical support to cells and tissues. |
| | TransportProtein | The class of protein molecules whose role it is to carry small molecules or ions. |
