    GlossarymTOR pathway (mammalian target of rapamycin pathway)

    regulates cell growth and metabolism in response to nutrients

    The mTOR pathway, short for the mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway, is a crucial cellular signaling pathway that regulates growth, metabolism, and survival in response to nutrients, growth factors, and other environmental cues. It plays a significant role in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, protein synthesis, and autophagy, and is implicated in conditions like cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.
