Rabbit anti-Rictor IHC Antibody Affinity Purified
Product Details
Specifications
The epitope recognized by IHC-00429 maps to a region between residue 1650 and the C-terminus (residue 1708) of human Rapamycin-Insensitive Companion of mTOR using the numbering given in TrEMBL entry Q6R327 (GeneID 253260). Antibody was affinity purified using an epitope specific to Rictor immobilized on solid support.
The epitope recognized by IHC-00429-T maps to a region between residue 1650 and the C-terminus (residue 1708) of human Rapamycin-Insensitive Companion of mTOR using the numbering given in TrEMBL entry Q6R327 (GeneID 253260).
Additional Product Information
Rictor is a subunit of mTORC2, which regulates cell growth and survival in response to hormonal signals. mTORC2 is activated by growth factors, but, in contrast to mTORC1, seems to be nutrient-insensitive. mTORC2 seems to function upstream of Rho GTPases to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, probably by activating one or more Rho-type guanine nucleotide exchange factors. mTORC2 promotes the serum-induced formation of stress-fibers or F-actin. mTORC2 plays a critical role in AKT1 'Ser-473' phosphorylation, which may facilitate the phosphorylation of the activation loop of AKT1 on 'Thr-308' by PDK1 which is a prerequisite for full activation. mTORC2 regulates the phosphorylation of SGK1 at 'Ser-422'. mTORC2 also modulates the phosphorylation of PRKCA on 'Ser-657'. Plays an essential role in embryonic growth and development [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q6R327].
