Harmonizome 3.0

mechanistic target of rapamycin (serine/threonine kinase)

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of phosphatidylinositol kinase-related kinases. These kinases mediate cellular responses to stresses such as DNA damage and nutrient deprivation. This kinase is a component of two distinct complexes, mTORC1, which controls protein synthesis, cell growth and proliferation, and mTORC2, which is a regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, and promotes cell survival and cell cycle progression. This protein acts as the target for the cell-cycle arrest and immunosuppressive effects of the FKBP12-rapamycin complex. Inhibitors of mTOR are used in organ transplants as immunosuppressants, and are being evaluated for their therapeutic potential in SARS-CoV-2 infections. Mutations in this gene are associated with Smith-Kingsmore syndrome and somatic focal cortical dysplasia type II. The ANGPTL7 gene is located in an intron of this gene.

MTOR antisense RNA 1

RPTOR independent companion of MTOR, complex 2

RICTOR and MTOR (FRAP1; MIM 601231) are components of a protein complex that integrates nutrient- and growth factor-derived signals to regulate cell growth (Sarbassov et al., 2004 [PubMed 15268862]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 3 pseudogene 1

MTOR associated protein, LST8 homolog (S. cerevisiae)

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in TOR signaling; positive regulation of TOR signaling; and regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. Part of TORC1 complex and TORC2 complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

regulatory associated protein of MTOR, complex 1

This gene encodes a component of a signaling pathway that regulates cell growth in response to nutrient and insulin levels. The encoded protein forms a stoichiometric complex with the mTOR kinase, and also associates with eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein-1 and ribosomal protein S6 kinase. The protein positively regulates the downstream effector ribosomal protein S6 kinase, and negatively regulates the mTOR kinase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 3 pseudogene 2

DEP domain containing MTOR-interacting protein

Enables phosphatidic acid binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of TOR signaling; negative regulation of cell size; and negative regulation of protein kinase activity. Is active in lysosomal membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 4

Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid stimulus; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and protein localization to lysosome. Located in lysosome. Part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP and Ragulator complex. Is active in lysosomal membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 5

This gene encodes a protein that specifically complexes with the C-terminus of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx). The function of this protein is to negatively regulate HBx activity and thus to alter the replication life cycle of the virus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 1

Enables GTPase binding activity and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Contributes to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and molecular adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and regulation of cholesterol transport. Located in lysosome. Part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP. Is active in Ragulator complex and lysosomal membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 2

The product of this gene is highly conserved with a mouse protein associated with the cytoplasmic face of late endosomes and lysosomes. The mouse protein interacts with MAPK scaffold protein 1, a component of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. In humans, a mutation in this gene has been associated with a primary immunodeficiency syndrome, and suggests a role for this protein in endosomal biogenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 3

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that functions in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) cascade. The protein is localized to late endosomes by the mitogen-activated protein-binding protein-interacting protein, and binds specifically to MAP kinase kinase MAP2K1/MEK1, MAP kinase MAPK3/ERK1, and MAP kinase MAPK1/ERK2. Studies of the orthologous gene in mouse indicate that it regulates late endosomal traffic and cell proliferation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 13.

MTOR associated protein, eak-7 homolog

Involved in several processes, including TOR signaling; positive regulation of protein localization to lysosome; and response to insulin. Located in cytosol; lysosomal membrane; and nuclear lumen. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
