General description

Fumonisin B2 belongs to the family of toxins known as fumonisins. It is produced by several species of Fusarium molds primarily by Fusarium verticillioide. It is one of the major mycotoxin contaminant in corn and corn-based foods. Fumonisin B2 is a structural analog of fumonisin B1 but it is more cytotoxic than the latter and it inhibits sphinganine-N-acetyltransferase (ceramide synthase).

Fumonisin B₂ is a carcinogenic mycotoxin generally present on corn based food and feed-stuff, which is produced by the fungus Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium moniliforme. Fumonisin B₂ can also be detected in the industrially important fungi, Aspergillus niger.
