The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), also named FKBP12 rapamycin-associated protein (FRAP/RAFT/RAPT/SEP), is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that plays a crucial role in a nutrient-sensitive signalling pathway that regulates cell growth. TOR signalling is potently inhibited by rapamycin, through the direct binding of a FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12)/rapamycin complex to the TOR FRB domain, a segment amino terminal to the kinase catalytic domain. mTOR is involved in the regulation of cell growth through initiation of gene translation in response to nutrients such as amino acids (mainly leucine), growth factors, insulin and mitogens. mTOR initiates translation by activating the ribosomal p70S6k protein kinase (S6K1) and by inhibiting the eIF4E inhibitor 4E-BP1. mTOR is phosphorylated at serine 2448 via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway and is autophosphorylated at serine 2481.
