| Short Name | RICTOR_V |
| description | This entry represent the conserved domain 5 of the Rictor (Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) protein. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a conserved Ser/Thr kinase that forms two functionally distinct complexes, mTROC1 and mTORC2, important for nutrient and growth-factor signalling. Rictor (rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) is a component of mTORC2 []. There is a regulatory link between the two mTOR complexes, whereby Rictor phosphorylation by mTORC1 regulates mTORC2 signalling []. Over-expression of Rictor increases mTORC2 activity and promotes cell growth and motility []. |
