Abstract

Retraction of ‘Spectrin-like domain 2 of DRP2 serves as a novel binding region for the NLS2 and 3 sub-domains of L-periaxin’ by Yan Yang et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 84356–84366, DOI: 10.1039/C5RA12703C.


The Royal Society of Chemistry, with the agreement of the authors, hereby wholly retracts this RSC Advances article due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article. The authors confirmed that the western blot images in Fig. 1, 2, and 4 had been inappropriately manipulated. Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
