Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable L-leucine binding activity and oxidoreductase activity, acting on peroxide as acceptor. Involved in cellular response to amino acid stimulus; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and negative regulation of cell growth. Acts upstream of or within regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of GATOR2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human SESN1 (sestrin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a kncok-out allele exhibit enhanced responsiveness to an influenza vaccine in aged mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
