This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief.

Concern was raised about the reliability of the Western blot results in Figures 5G,H+I, which appear to have a similar phenotype as many other publications, as detailed here: https://pubpeer.com/publications/7C9483B2551952AD53CCFCE206C4EB; and here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r0MyIYpagBc58BRF9c3luWNlCX8VUvUuPyYYXzxWvgY/edit#gid=262337249. The journal requested that the corresponding author comment on these concerns and provide the raw data. The authors did not respond to this request and therefore the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.
