Bmt2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to amino acid starvation; cellular response to methionine; and regulation of TORC1 signaling. Orthologous to human SAMTOR (S-adenosylmethionine sensor upstream of mTORC1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Bmt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
