ABSTRACT
Microcystin is one of the monocyclic heptapeptides produced primarily by microcystis aeruginosa. Recent studies suggest that microcystin can induce cell apoptosis, as well as oxidative stress and mitochondrial alteration. Studies also indicate that Bcl-2 family and p53 may play an important role in the apoptosis induced by microcystin.
