Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor) is involved in vesicle fusion processes, particularly in the disassembly of SNARE complexes after membrane fusion. The first step in the secretory pathway that would be inhibited by a non-functional NSF is the transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, as NSF's role is crucial for vesicles to fuse with target membranes, starting with the ER-Golgi transport step.
