It has a molecular weight of approximately 289 kDa. mTOR is expressed in various tissues throughout the body including muscle adipose tissue and the brain. The protein functions as a central regulator of cell proliferation protein synthesis and nutrient signaling. Often researchers utilize mTOR ELISA or mTOR western blot (mTOR WB) methods and mTOR antibodies to study its expression and activity in various biological contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMTOR integrates signals from nutrients growth factors and cellular energy status to maintain cellular homeostasis. It forms part of two distinct complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 which differ in their component proteins and downstream effects. mTORC1 primarily responds to amino acids and regulates protein synthesis through phosphorylation of key substrates like S6K1. On the other hand mTORC2 is important for maintaining cytoskeletal integrity and cell survival highlighting the protein's importance in diverse cellular processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMTOR plays a pivotal role in the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR pathway which governs cell growth proliferation and survival. It also has implications in the regulation of the AMPK pathway which senses cellular energy levels. Through these pathways mTOR interacts with proteins such as AKT and TSC2. The phospho-mTOR specifically the S2448 phospho-mTOR serves as an important functional marker in these signaling cascades linking extracellular signals to downstream cellular responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nMTOR has connections to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Its dysregulation often leads to uncontrolled cellular proliferation a hallmark of many cancers. Conditions such as tuberous sclerosis can occur due to mutations in proteins like TSC1 and TSC2 that regulate mTOR activity. In Alzheimer's disease mTOR's role in autophagy and protein synthesis becomes significant as imbalance may contribute to disease progression. Understanding these connections highlights the potential of targeting mTOR pathways therapeutically.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851615228073,"sku":"ab177734","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab177734","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
