“…mTOR, as a component of the protein complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2, is a central regulator of cellular response to upstream pathways including growth factor receptor signaling and nutrient sensing. It is an ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase and promotes myelination in the central and peripheral nervous systems (Figlia et al, ; Guardiola‐Diaz, Ishii, & Bansal, ; Narayanan, Flores, Wang, & Macklin, ; Sherman et al, ; Tyler et al, ; Tyler et al, ; Wahl et al, ). mTOR hyperactivation in oligodendroglia, through either constitutive activation of Akt or deletion of PTEN, results in increased myelination (Flores et al, ; Goebbels et al, ; Harrington et al, ).…”
