Saponaria officinalis is the plant from which saporin is extracted <ref name="ncbi">DOI: 10.3390/toxins5101698</ref>. Type I and type II RIPS exist. Of these types, saporin is a type I. Ribosome inactivating proteins catalyze a cleavages N-glycosidic bond that is formed between the ribosome and adenine <ref name="rcsb">DOI: 10.1016/s0014-5793(00)01325-9</ref>.
