Anti-Phospho-mTOR (S2448) antibody

mTOR is a protein encoded by the MTOR gene which is approximately 288,9 kDa. mTOR is localised to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrion outer membrane. It is involved in RET signalling, regulation of lipid metabolism, mTOR signalling and glioma. This protein falls under the phosphatidylinositol kinase family. It is a central regulator of cellular metabolism, growth and survival in response to hormones, growth factors, nutrients, energy and stress signals. mTOR is expressed in numerous tissues, with highest levels expressed in the testis. Mutations in the MTOR gene may result in Smith-Kingsmore syndrome. STJ90336 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This primary antibody specifically binds to endogenous mTOR protein which only binds about S2448 when S2448 is phosphorylated.
