General description

Specifically and reversibly blocks translocation of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus without affecting endocytosis or lysosome function. Inhibitor of HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux. Causes disassembly of the Golgi complex and ER swelling in a variety of mammalian cell lines at <40 ng/ml. Inhibits the activity of BIG1 and BIG2, the guanine-nucleotide exchange proteins for ADP-ribosylation factors. Blocks binding of ADP-ribosylation factor to the Golgi and inhibits the GDP-GTP exchange.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cell permeable: yes
Primary Target
ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF)
Reversible: yes

Packaging

Packaged under inert gas

Warning

Toxicity: Irritant (B)

Physical form

A 25 mM (2 mg/285 µL) solution of (+)-Brefeldin A (Cat. No. 203729) in DMSO.

Reconstitution

Following initial thaw, aliquot and freeze (-70°C). Aliquots are stable for up to 6 months at -70°C. Use only fresh DMSO for further dilutions prior to use.
