General description

Aflatoxins are hepatotoxic metabolites, that are produced by molds, such as, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. They are naturally occurring poisonous carcinogens and the most widely known mycotoxins. They are associated with liver cancer and immune system suppression.

Application

Aflatoxin G1 from Aspergillus flavus has been used as a standard for the determination of aflatoxin in various samples.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hepatocarcinogen. Food contaminant produced by Aspergillus flavus, a common soil fungus.

Warning

Possibly carcinogenic.

Carcinogenesis and Epigenetics

Cancer research has revealed that the classical model of carcinogenesis, a three step process consisting of initiation, promotion, and progression, is not complete.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
