“…Genetic alterations of Arl1 as well as its effectors were used to characterize developmental and physiological phenotypes (summarized in Fig. 1) (Chang et al, 2015;Cruz-Garcia et al, 2013;Eiseler et al, 2016;Gehart et al, 2012;Hesse et al, 2013;Hsu et al, 2016;Labbaoui et al, 2017;Lieu et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2006;Lock et al, 2005;Marešová and Sychrová, 2010;Marešová et al, 2012;Murray and Stow, 2014;Price et al, 2005;Torres et al, 2014;Yang and Rosenwald, 2016). In mammalian cells, these functions affect a wide range of fundamental cellular processes, including cell polarity (Lock et al, 2005), innate immunity (Bremond et al, 2009;Lieu et al, 2008;Murray and Stow, 2014;Stanley et al, 2012), lipid droplet and chylomicron formation (Hesse et al, 2013;Jaschke et al, 2012), as well as the secretion of insulin (Gehart et al, 2012), chromogranin A (CruzGarcia et al, 2013) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (Eiseler et al, 2016).…”
