Scientific Background :The mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR, also known as FRAP or RAFT, is a Ser/Thr protein kinase. mTOR acts as a sensor for ATP and amino acids, balancing the availability of nutrients and cell growth (1). When sufficient nutrients are available, mTOR responds to a phosphatidic acid-mediated signal, transmits a positive signal to p70 S6 kinase and participates in the inactivation of the eIF4E inhibitor, 4E-BP1 (2).
