Abstract:Changes in gene expression, including those caused by epigenetic dysregulation, represent a hallmark of cancer. The mechanistic/mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that coordinates nutrient availability to the regulation of cell growth and metabolism, which is frequently perturbed in cancer. mTOR exists in two structurally and functionally divergent complexes, mTOR complex 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and 2). mTORC1 regulates many metabolic pathways, including the serine-glycine-one carbon net… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
