Rab10 WT expression – by expression

–, little change; KI, Knock-in; AC3, adenylate cyclase 3; AT, acetylated tubulin; PT, polyglutamylated tubulin; SSTR, somatostatin receptor.

*Statistically significant change.

**The result was observed in the control sample (scrambled shRNA) to test effect of PPM1H knockdown on ciliogenesis.

#Statistically significant change was observed only under normal serum-fed condition, but not in the serum starved condition.

##Significant change regardless of serum condition.
