| Term | aflatoxin biosynthetic process | ID (Ontology) | GO:0045122 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of aflatoxin, a fungal metabolite found as a contaminant in moldy grains that induces liver cancer. Aflatoxin induces a G to T transversion at codon 249 of p53, leading to its inactivation. Aflatoxin is converted to a chemical carcinogen by P450.[ ISBN:0716731363 ISBN:0815316194 PubMed:15006741 ] | ||
