Description

General description

Brefeldin induces ADP-ribosylation of CtBP1/BARS protein that regulates the intracellular trafficking and movement of secretory proteins from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus.

Chemical structure: macrolide

Application

Suitable for molecular biology studies of secretory proteins and mechanisms of intracellular transport

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brefeldin A (BFA) is a fungal metabolite which disrupts the structure and function of the Golgi apparatus. BFA is an activator of the sphingomyelin cycle. Brefeldin A-mediated apoptosis has been observed in human tumor cells.

Principle

Brefeldin is a fungal metabolite that disrupts protein secretion in eukaryotic cells by disrupting the Golgi apparatus. It does not affect the process of protein synthesis.
