Characterization of an apical ceramide-enriched compartment regulating ciliogenesis

The sphingolipid ceramide is essential for the formation, elongation, or maintenance of primary cilia. A novel, apical ceramide-enriched compartment induces formation of a ciliogenic protein complex with Rab11a, which sustains formation and maintenance of primary cilia by preventing deacetylation of...
