Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and regulation of phosphorylation. Predicted to be part of TORC2 complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum; lysosome; and plasma membrane.

Overexpression of Rictor in the injured spinal cord promotes functional recovery in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
Title: Overexpression of Rictor in the injured spinal cord promotes functional recovery in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
upregulation of miR-424 inhibited Rictor through Akt signaling in renal tissue of diabetic nephropathy rats and high-glucose-treated human glomerular mesangial cells.
Title: Upregulation of microRNA-424 relieved diabetic nephropathy by targeting Rictor through mTOR Complex2/Protein Kinase B signaling.
Study examined mTOR variables, with attention to mTORC2 (Rictor), in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain samples and in two mouse models, and made comparisons with results from cell- and in vitro-based experiments where Abeta is either expressed or peptide added. Authors conclude that striking a new balance by restoring mTORC2 abundance and/or inhibition of mTORC1 has therapeutic potential in AD.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
