Primary Identifier | IPR029451 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | RICTOR_M |
description | This domain is found in the more conserved central section of Rictor (rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) that may include several individual domains. 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 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 []. |
