Rptor

This gene encodes a subunit of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a component of the mTOR signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth in response to nutrient and energy levels. The encoded protein may regulate the assembly, localization, and substrate binding of the mTORC1 complex. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit embryonic lethality. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rptor often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
