epsilon-Amanitin or ε-amanitin is a cyclic peptide. It is an amatoxin, all of which are found in several members of the mushroom genus Amanita. The oral LD₅₀ of ε-amanitin is approximately 0.1 mg/kg.

Toxicology

Like other amatoxins, ε-amanitin is an inhibitor of RNA polymerase II. Upon ingestion, it binds to the RNA polymerase II enzyme which completely prevents mRNA synthesis, effectively causing cytolysis of hepatocytes (liver cells) and kidney cells.[1]

gollark: Bad code is bad code but PHP encourages bad code.

gollark: Or at least kind of is. I think it's partly the cause at least.

gollark: PHP is the reason DC suffers horrible bugs constantly and hatcheries are kind of bad in some ways.

gollark: To be fair, though, JS frameworks are mostly client-side and PHP is server-side. That doesn't excuse the evil of PHP generally though.

gollark: That's horrible.
