Mtor

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ribosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process; T-helper 1 cell lineage commitment; and TORC2 signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including heart development; positive regulation of cellular component biogenesis; and protein phosphorylation. Located in cytosol; dendrite; and nucleus. Part of TORC1 complex and TORC2 complex. Colocalizes with PML body. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; oocyte; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; kidney angiomyolipoma; lung disease (multiple); prostate cancer; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Mtor often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
