DETAILS

Description (English)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Penicillic acid is a polyketide mycotoxin produced by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium species. It induces single and double strand DNA breaks. Penicillic acid irreversibly inhibits GDP-mannose dehydrogenase (DMG), an alginate synthesis enzyme. It also inhibits muscle aldose dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and lactate dehydrogenase.
