Mouse Serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR (MTOR) ELISA Kit-Sandwich

mTOR, a serine/threonine-protein kinase, serves as a key regulator of cellular metabolism, growth, and survival, responding to hormones, growth factors, nutrients, energy, and stress signals. It is crucial for embryonic development in mice, as demonstrated by studies showing that mTOR gene knockout leads to embryonic lethality, underscoring its essential role in embryonic cell growth and proliferation. Additionally, the mTOR signaling pathway influences cell growth and division through its regulation of the cell cycle and translation processes. In the context of mouse muscle stem cells (satellite cells) and skeletal muscle regeneration, mTOR plays a significant role. Research indicates that this signaling pathway is vital for sustaining satellite cell activity and promoting skeletal muscle regeneration, and its dysfunction can result in diminished muscle regeneration capabilities.
