Summary	Citrinin is a nephrotoxic fungal polyketide mycotoxin widely used to model oxidative stress.
Details	Citrinin is a polyketide mycotoxin produced by several Penicillium and Aspergillus species and is frequently detected as a food contaminant. It is associated with nephrotoxicity and has been implicated in Balkan endemic nephropathy. Mechanistic studies in yeast demonstrate that citrinin induces strong oxidative stress, activates Yap1/Skn7-dependent antioxidant pathways, and stimulates multidrug resistance transport systems. Citrinin is widely used as a research tool to study oxidative stress responses, mycotoxin toxicity, and cellular detoxification mechanisms.
