Amanin is acyclicpeptide. It is one of theamatoxins, all of which are found in several members of themushroom genusAmanita.
Like other amatoxins, amanin is an inhibitor ofRNA polymerase II. Upon ingestion, it binds to the RNA polymerase II enzyme which completely preventsmRNA synthesis, effectively causingcytolysis ofhepatocytes (liver cells) andkidney cells.[1]
