RICTOR and MTOR (FRAP1; MIM 601231) are components of a protein complex that integrates nutrient- and growth factor-derived signals to regulate cell growth (Sarbassov et al., 2004 [PubMed 15268862]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],

Function:
Function:Plays an essential role in embryonic growth and development (By similarity). Part of the TORC2 complex which plays a critical role in AKT1 'Ser-473' phosphorylation, and may modulate the phosphorylation of PKCA and regulate actin cytoskeleton organization.,similarity:Belongs to the pianissimo family.,subunit:Forms part of the target of rapamycin 2 complex (TORC2) comprised of FRAP1, LST8, PROTOR1, RICTOR and MAPKAP1. TORC2 does not bind to and is not sensitive to FKBP12-rapamycin. Binds directly to FRAP1 and PROTOR1 within the TORC2 complex. May interact with PROTOR2.,
