• Description: 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.
