Anti-mTOR antibody is suitable for use in Western blot (1:1,000 using myotube cell lysates of rainbow trout cultures). The antibody can also be used in indirect immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and microarray.

Общее описание

mTOR is an evolutionary conserved serine/threonine kinase that belongs to the phosphoinositol kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family. This kinase regulates cell growth by initiation of translation in response to nutrients such as amino acids (primarily leucine), growth factors, mitogens and insulin. Translational initiation is mediated by mTOR through S6K1 activation and 4E-BP1 inhibition. mTOR may also modulate several cellular functions such as actin organization, secretion, membrane trafficking, protein degradation, protein kinase C signaling, tRNA synthesis and ribosome biogenesis. Anti-mTOR antibody is specific for human, mouse and rat mTOR (289 kDa).
