We have shown that secretion increases and the structure of the Golgi changes when knocking down giantin, which is one of the Golgin protein group. In this research project, to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon as the ultimate goal, the structure of the Golgi was analyzed in detail using electron beam tomography and the like. Also, during this time, we discovered a novel small molecule involved in secretion regulation, so we performed the characterization of new molecules, as well.
