RICTOR possesses a molecular mass of approximately 192 kDa. You can find RICTOR widely expressed in various tissues including the brain liver and skeletal muscle. Researchers also refer to it as AVO3.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe protein plays a significant role in cellular growth proliferation and survival. RICTOR forms part of the mTORC2 complex which is important for Akt\/PKB phosphorylation. Activation of mTORC2 by RICTOR regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics and membrane trafficking. This involvement affects the control of cell metabolism and immune responses.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nRICTOR integrates into the PI3K\/Akt signaling pathway influencing cell growth and survival in response to nutrients and growth factors. RICTOR as part of mTORC2 also interacts with proteins such as Sin1 and mLST8 helping regulate PKB\/Akt phosphorylation at Ser473. This interaction links RICTOR's function to the insulin signaling pathway which controls aspects of glucose metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe dysregulation of RICTOR plays a role in cancer progression and metabolic disorders. Alterations in the PI3K\/Akt\/mTOR signaling pathway can lead to the development of various cancers with RICTOR contributing to tumorigenesis through Akt activation. Additionally aberrant RICTOR expression affects insulin signaling therefore connecting it to diabetes. Through these pathways and conditions RICTOR's interaction with proteins such as mTOR illustrates its relevance in disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845075456169,"sku":"ab277866","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab277866","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
