The toxin present in Abrus precatorius is a close relative to ricin called abrin. It is a dimer consisting of two proteinsubunits, termed A and B. The B chain facillitates abrin's entry into a cell by bonding to certain transport proteins on cell membranes, which then transport the toxin into the cell.
