While it is expressed at relatively high levels in the brain, Rheb is widely expressed in other tissues and may be induced by growth factor stimulation. Like other Ras family members, Rheb triggers activation of the Raf-MEK-MAPK pathway (2). Biochemical and genetic studies demonstrate that Rheb has an important role in regulating the insulin\/TOR signaling pathway (3-6). The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine\/threonine protein kinase that acts as a sensor for ATP and amino acids, balancing the availability of nutrients with translation and cell growth. The tuberin\/hamartin (TSC2\/TSC1) complex inhibits mTOR activity indirectly by inhibiting Rheb through the tuberin GAP activity (7).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nGTP-binding protein Rheb; MGC111559; Ras homolog enriched in brain; Ras homolog enriched in brain 2; Ras homolog, mTORC1 binding; RHEB; RHEB2\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 16\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46797601603753,"sku":"13879S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-13879s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
