Biological function summary
MTOR functions as a core component of two distinct complexes: mTORC1 and mTORC2. mTORC1 regulates protein synthesis by modulating the phosphorylation of key translational regulators while mTORC2 is involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. The PI3 kinase p85 alpha a regulatory entity mediates signaling through its interaction with catalytic subunits impacting glucose metabolism and growth. AKT being a pivotal node in cellular processes modulates glucose uptake and cell proliferation and prevents apoptosis through its activity. Collectively these proteins act to integrate signals from growth factors and nutrients to enact biological responses critical for cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
MTOR PI3 kinase p85 alpha and AKT isoforms are important components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. This pathway plays a significant role in cellular metabolism growth survival and angiogenesis. Within this context mTOR acts downstream of AKT to promote protein synthesis and cell growth. PI3K signaling initiates AKT activation which then phosphorylates various substrates including mTOR. Members of this pathway such as PTEN regulate the pathway's activity negatively modulating cellular responses and ensuring proper cell function and survival.
