The editors would like to confirm the retraction of this paper at the request of the authors. One of the authors, Emily M. Horvath, admitted to altering data in two of the figures. Specifically in Figs. 2 and 4A, some of the values were incorrectly reported for the radioactive glucose uptake assays. None of the other authors associated with this publication were aware of the data manipulation. The authors sincerely regret if this has caused problems with investigators that have used this information experimentally.
