MTOR: Discovery, Complexes & Clinical significance

The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), also known as mammalian target of rapamycin, is a serine-threonine protein kinase that regulates cell growth, cell proliferation, cell motility, cell survival, protein synthesis, autophagy, and transcription. It belongs to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family and is evolutionarily…
