Mechanism of the mitogenic and carcinogenic action of fumonisin B1, a mycotoxin
1994
Wolf, G.
Fumonisins, mycotoxins found on corn and other grains, can act as carcinogens. Recent studies have shown that fumonisin B1 stimulates cell proliferation due to inhibition of sphinganine N-acyl-transferase, an important rate limiting enzymatic step in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Subsequent accumulation of free sphingoid bases in the cell can act as tumor promoters.
