Withdrawal: The role of ERp44 in maturation of serotonin transporter protein. [Withdrawals/Retractions] (Journal of Biological Chemistry)

VOLUME 287 (2012) PAGES 17801-17811This article has been withdrawn by Samuel Freyaldenhoven, Yicong Li, Arif M. Kocabas, Grover P. Miller, and Fusun Kilic. Despite attempts, Enrit Ziu, Serra Ucer, and Raman Ramanagoudr-Bhojappa could not be reached for conference on this decision. Dr. Kilic contacted the editorial office to report errors in Fig. 3A and Fig 8 of their article. The Journal requested the original data for Figs. 1A, 1D, 3A, 6A, 8A, 8B, and 9A. Due to the dated material, she could not provide all of them. The data that were provided to the Journal was not 300 ppi. The investigation by the Journal determined the following. Lanes 2 and 3 of the total SERT immunoblot in Fig. 1A were duplicated in lanes 5 and 6. The actin immunoblot from Fig. 1A was reused in Figs. 8B and 9A as actin. The first two lanes of the SERT (PM) immunoblot in Fig. 3A were duplicated. Additionally, the first lane of the Total SERT immunoblot in Fig. 3A was reused in lane 4. In Fig. 6A, lanes 2 and 5 of the actin immunoblot were duplicated.
