Research Abstract	Secretary protein is transported outside the cell by membrane transport system after it is synthesized. The cargo proteins are transported from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cellular membrane by using vesicles budded from ER membrane. Membrane tubules are sometimes observed around ER membrane and Golgi apparatus. In this study, the membrane tubules were generated in living cells and observed the localization of YIF1A and YIPF5, which implicated in the membrane traffic.
