Oncogenic kit signalling on the golgi is suppressed by blocking secretory trafficking with M-COPA in gastrointestinal stromal tumours

In this study, we show that in GIST, 2-methylcoprophilinamide (M-COPA, also known as “AMF-26”), an inhibitor of biosynthetic protein trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi, suppresses Kit autophosphorylation at Y703/Y721/Y730/Y936, resulting in blockade of oncogenic signalling.
