Biomarker Reference · MT
Macrocyclic Trichothecenes (e.g. Roridin, Verrucarin) (MT) is a clinical biomarker used in heavy-metals-toxicology assessment. Macrocyclic trichothecenes are produced predominantly by Stachybotrys chartarum (black mould) and related species in water-damaged buildings. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.
Macrocyclic trichothecenes are produced predominantly by Stachybotrys chartarum (black mould) and related species in water-damaged buildings. They are potent inhibitors of protein synthesis and are the toxins most associated in the literature with damp-building exposure. They are excreted in urine following exposure.
Detection of macrocyclic trichothecenes is used as a marker of Stachybotrys-type exposure characteristic of water-damaged indoor environments. As with the other analytes, results are interpreted alongside exposure history and symptoms rather than as standalone diagnostic findings.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform. Interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.
