About

    MTORC1, also known as mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1, is a protein complex that plays a critical role in regulating cell growth and metabolism. It is a key signaling pathway that integrates various environmental and nutritional cues to control cell growth, proliferation, and survival. MTORC1 is activated by growth factors, nutrients, and energy status, and regulates various cellular processes such as protein synthesis, lipid metabolism, autophagy, and cell proliferation. Dysregulation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers are actively studying the mTORC1 pathway to understand its molecular mechanisms, identify potential therapeutic targets, and develop novel treatments for diseases associated with mTORC1 dysregulation. This research area holds promise for developing new therapies to treat a wide range of diseases and improve human health.
