Aflatoxin, Tau proteins, and vit D receptor

What does the aflatoxin do in the endoplasmic reticulum to cause tau?

Aflatoxin binds the Vit D receptor

There are morphological cell shape changes due to microfilament changes and a loss of F-actin with aflatoxin exposure

Tau is a microtubule associated protein

Tau proteins cover MT during polymerization

Looks like aflatoxin blocks polymerization ??? which then causes tau to precipitate ?

aflatoxin ends up in the endoplasmic reticulum
