| Target description: | Serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR (UniProt: P42345; also known as EC:2.7.11.1, FK506-binding protein 12-rapamycin complex-associated protein 1, FKBP12-rapamycin complex-associated protein, Mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR, Mechanistic target of rapamycin, Rapamycin and FKBP12 target 1, Rapamycin target protein 1) is encoded by the MTOR (also known as FRAP, FRAP1, FRAP2, RAFT1, RAPT1) gene (Gene ID: 2475) in human. mTOR is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that acts as a nutrient sensor and regulates growth factor signaling and cellular metabolism. Its catalytic kinase domain located in the C-terminal region exhibits a strong homology to the catalytic domain of PI 3-kinase and PI 4-kinase. It activates translation initiation in response to both hormonal and nutrient signals by phosphorylating at least two translational modulators, p70S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and eIF-4E-binding protein 1. Cellular mTOR is composed of two large protein complexes, known as mTORC1 and mTORC2. The mTORC1 complex is sensitive to rapamycin and consists of mTOR, Raptor, and mLST8 and two negative regulators, PRAS40 and DEPTOR. The Raptor unit serves as a scaffolding protein to bridge the interaction between mTOR and its substrates. The mTORC2 complex that is insensitive to rapamycin, contains mTOR, Rictor, Sin1, and mLST8 and the newly identified components Protor, Hsp70 and DEPTOR. This complex plays a role in actin cytoskeleton organization and phosphorylates Akt on Ser473 to fully activate it. Deregulation of multiple elements of the mTOR pathway has been reported in many types of cancers. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals. |
