It is known to form part of the GATOR1 complex acting as a negative regulator of the mTORC1 signaling. NPRL2 has a molecular mass of approximately 41 kDa. This protein shows expression in various tissues with notable expression in the brain and lung.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nNPRL2 and its role in the GATOR1 complex importantly manages cellular response to nutrient availability and growth signals. The GATOR1 complex comprises NPRL2 NPRL3 and DEPDC5 which collectively suppress mTORC1 activity under nutrient-poor conditions. This suppression promotes autophagy and inhibits protein synthesis affecting how cells adapt to nutritional stress.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nNPRL2 is integral to the amino acid sensing branch of the mTORC1 signaling pathway. It plays a part in the nutrient sensing pathway alongside the proteins NPRL3 and DEPDC5. The mTORC1 pathway essential for controlling cell growth and metabolism depends on the regulated activity of NPRL2 and its partners to respond accurately to metabolic cues.\u003cbr\u003e\nAltered NPRL2 function links to cancer and epilepsy. Mutations in the GATOR1 complex affecting proteins like DEPDC5 and NPRL3 in conjunction with NPRL2 have associations with tumor growth due to disrupted mTORC1 regulation. In epilepsy especially the focal cortical dysplasia type NPRL2 mutations lead to imbalanced mTORC1 activity contributing to the development of seizures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852267507881,"sku":"ab88691","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab88691","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
