Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brefeldin A (BFA), when added to the medium of cultured mammalian cells, induces a reversible block of secretion and disrupts the Golgi apparatus whereas Golgi enzyme markers appear to redistribute into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It has been shown in addition that in mammalian cells, BFA would prevent the assembly of coatomer proteins (COP) onto membranes by inhibiting the GTP-dependent...
