mTORC1 is a protein complex composed of the serine/threonine kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), TOR complex subunit LST8 (mLST8), regulatory-associated protein of mTOR (Raptor), proline-rich Akt substrate 40 kDa (PRAS40), and DEP domain-containing mTOR-interacting protein (Deptor) that functions as a nutrient sensor and regulates cell growth and metabolism.{59623,59622,59621} PRAS40 and Deptor act as negative regulators of mTORC1 activity, and mLST8 and Raptor as scaffold proteins for substrates such as 4E-BP1 and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1). mTORC1 localizes to the plasma membrane, lysosome, and nucleus depending on its upstream activation signal, which include AMPK, PI3K, and Akt.{60957,59623} Activation of mTORC1 is influenced by growth factors, energy status, oxygen levels, and amino acid availability and is involved in a wide variety of processes, including aging, autophagy, stem cell and immune function, cellular senescence, and protein translation.{59623,59620,45403,59621} Dysregulation of the mTOR signaling pathway is associated with various pathologies, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes.{59623,59624,59621} Cayman’s mTOR/mLST8/Raptor Complex (human, recombinant) protein can be used for enzyme activity assays.
