mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin, is a Serine/Threonine protein kinase (1-2) that functions as an amino acid and ATP sensor to balance cell growth and nutrient availability (3-4). When sufficient nutrients are available, mTOR transmits a positive signal to p70 S6 kinase and participates in the inactivation of 4E-BP1 (5). mTOR plays a key role in homeostasis and cell growth, and phospho mTOR may be abnormally regulated in tumors. mTOR is a potential target for anti-cancer therapy (6).
Predicted to work with mouse, rat and other homologues.
