Bioactivity | Fumonisin B1 is a mycotoxin produced from Fusarium moniliforme. Fumonisin B1 is a potent inhibitor of sphingosine N-acyltransferase (ceramide synthase) and disrupts de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis. Fumonisin B1 is the most abundant and toxic fumonisin[1][2]. |
Invitro | Fumonisin B1 alters the gene expression and signal transduction pathways in monkey kidney cells[3].Fumonisin B1 increases the initial disruption of sphingolipid metabolism and the accumulation of sphinganine in LLC-PK1 kidney cells, causes DNA damage of apoptotic type in rat astrocytes[3]. |
