The signalling system known as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is believed to be required for several biological activities involving cell proliferation. The serine-threonine kinase identified as mTOR recognises PI3K-AKT stress signals. It is well established in the scientific literature that the deregulation of the mTOR pathway plays a crucial role in cancer growth and advancement. This review focuses on the normal functions of mTOR as well as its abnormal roles in cancer development.
被称为雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR)的信号系统被认为是涉及细胞增殖的几种生物活性所必需的。已鉴定出的丝氨酸-苏氨酸激酶 mTOR 可识别 PI3K-AKT 应激信号。科学文献中已经明确指出,mTOR 途径的失调在癌症的生长和进展中起着至关重要的作用。本篇综述重点介绍了 mTOR 的正常功能及其在癌症发展中的异常作用。
