Communis means common in Latin, and castor plants were already commonly naturalized in many parts of the world when the eighteenth century Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus (Karl von Linné) was giving scientific first and last names to plants and animals over 200 years ago.
Ricinus is the Latin word for tick and is the specific epithet for the Mediterranean sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus).
Other uses of the extracts of Ricinus communis include as an additive in paints and varnishes, as an additive in high-preformance motor oil, and as the raw material from which sebacic acid is extracted.

Ricinus communis agglutinin II is an extremely toxic glycoprotein consisting of two disulfide-linked chains of about 28,000 daltons and 32,000 daltons, termed A and B chain, respectively.
The B chain can bind to cell surfaces via galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine residues of membrane glycoconjugates and facilitates the transport of the lectin into the cell.

Technical Abstract: In the castor plant (Ricinus communis L.), 2S albumins are highly allergenic seed proteins and are detrimental to reintroduction of castor as crop.
Others have previously shown that the two 2S albumins are encoded by a single gene and processed from a precursor protein in castor.
