Description

General description

Rictor (rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) is a subunit of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2). The mTORC2 complex contains mTOR, mLST8, mSIN1, deptor, protor-1 and rictor. mTOR substrate that regulates cell size.

m-TOR is a conserved kinase that primarily regulates cell growth. Rictor is a rapamycin-insensitive companion of m-TOR and regulates the phosphorylation of Akt/PKB. Rictor also phosphorylates PKCα and actin cytoskeleton .

Specificity

Anti-Rictor antibody is specific for human, mouse and rat rictor. In immunoblotting, detection of the rictor band (approx. 190 kDa) is specifically inhibited by the immunizing peptide.

Immunogen

The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse and rat rictor.

Application

Anti-Rictor antibody is suitable for use in immunohistochemistry (5-10 μg/mL using heat-retrieved formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded rat testis sections and biotin/ExtrAvidin Peroxidase staining system). The product may also be used for immunoprecipitation (5-10 μg using lysates of human HeLa cells), and immunoblot (1-2 μg/mL is using whole extracts of mouse C2C12 cells).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rictor (rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR) regulates cell survival and cytoskeletal organization through the regulation of Akt/ protein kinase B (PKB) and protein kinase C alpha (PKCα).

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
