Aflatoxin M2

Description:

Aflatoxin M2 is a mycotoxin produced by certain strains of the fungus Aspergillus, particularly Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. It is a secondary metabolite that can contaminate various agricultural products, especially dairy products, as it can be found in the milk of animals that have ingested feed contaminated with Aflatoxin B1, a more potent form of aflatoxin. Aflatoxin M2 is known for its carcinogenic properties, posing significant health risks to humans and animals. It is classified as a potent hepatotoxin and is associated with liver damage and cancer. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and has a relatively low molecular weight. Due to its toxicity, regulatory agencies monitor and limit its presence in food and feed products. Detection methods often involve sophisticated techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Proper storage and handling of susceptible products are crucial to minimize contamination and ensure food safety.

Aflatoxin M2 is a pro-apoptotic protein that has been shown to induce liver cell apoptosis. Aflatoxin M2 may play an important role in the development of liver lesions and cirrhosis. The protein is found in various fungi, such as zearalenone. It has also been shown to have immunomodulatory effects on human cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the proliferation of T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes. Aflatoxin M2 can also bind to matrix proteins and form complexes with them, which may affect its detection sensitivity by analytical methods. It can also be detected by immunological methods using monoclonal antibodies or fluorescence detectors.
