Distribution and association of mTOR with its cofactors, raptor and rictor, in cumulus cells and oocytes during meiotic maturation in mice
25 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a Ser/Thr protein kinase, is the catalytic component of two distinct signaling complexes, mTOR-raptor complex (mTORC1) and mTOR-rictor complex (mTORC2). Recently, studies have demonstrated mitosis-specific roles for mTORC1, but the functions and expression dynamics of mTOR complexes during meiotic maturation remain unclear. In the present study, to evaluate the roles of...
