MTOR (NM_004958) - mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase

Serine/threonine-Protein Kinase Mtor

Mutations Visualisation

Protein summary

This is preferred isoform of MTOR protein.
MTOR: serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR
Description:

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of phosphatidylinositol kinase-related kinases. These kinases mediate cellular responses to stresses such as DNA damage and nutrient deprivation. This protein acts as the target for the cell-cycle arrest and immunosuppressive effects of the FKBP12-rapamycin complex. The ANGPTL7 gene is located in an intron of this gene.
