Brefeldin A (BFA) has enjoyed widespread use as an inhibitor of protein secretion in eukaryotic cells. BFA, first described in 1958 (Singleton et al., 1958), is a heterocyclic lactone produced by certain fungi. In the mid-1980’s, BFA was demonstrated to have dramatic effects on the structure and functioning of intracellular organelles, particularly the Golgi apparatus, in eukaryotic cells (Doms et al., 1989; Hunziker et al., 1992; Lippincott-Schwartz et al., 1991; Lippincott-Schwartz et al., 1989; Misumi et al., 1986). This discovery led to intense interest in the drug both for understanding the mechanisms underlying the organization of intracellular compartments and as a tool to specifically inhibit the functioning of the secretory pathway
