OverviewNCBI Gene
This gene encodes a component of a signaling pathway that regulates cell growth in response to nutrient and insulin levels. The encoded protein forms a stoichiometric complex with the mTOR kinase, and also associates with eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein-1 and ribosomal protein S6 kinase. The protein positively regulates the downstream effector ribosomal protein S6 kinase, and negatively regulates the mTOR kinase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads RPTOR as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RPTOR could matter depends on whether native RPTOR is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
RPTOR is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label RPTOR as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
