Cytochrome P450 2A13 is able to oxidise aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) to the reactive aflatoxin M1 epoxide (AFM1E) (He et al. 2006). AFM1E is less carcinogenic or mutagenic than aflatoxin B1-exo-8,9-epoxide (AFBO), but is equally toxic. AFM1E would usually be detoxified by conjugation with glutathione, eventually excreted in urine as a mercapturic acid (not shown here).
