    UNC119 was significantly upregulated and promoted cell growth in hepatic cancer cells and tissues by the Wnt/beta-catenin signal pathway and migration by TGF-beta/EMT signal pathway. Curcumin treatment inhibited cell proliferation, growth, migration, and invasion by inhibition of those pathways.

    This review will outline the trafficking pathways required for constructing the cilium by highlighting UNC119's role and the complexities involved in ciliary trafficking. Finally, despite important roles for UNC119 in cilia, UNC119 proteins also interact with non-ciliary proteins to affect other cellular processes.
