Phallolysin

      Phallolysin is a toxic hemolysin that has been isolated from the death cap mushroom Amanita phalloides. Phallolysin is a mixture of either two or three proteins of similar structure, each with a molecular weight of 34 kDa.[1] It has shown some hemolytic (red blood cell–destroying) activity in vitro.
