RPTOR ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein regulatory associated protein of MTOR complex 1, which is encoded by the RPTOR gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be involved in control of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity which regulates cell growth and survival, and autophagy in response to nutrient and hormonal signals; functions as a scaffold for recruiting mTORC1 substrates. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 1335 residues, a mass of 149 kDa, and is a member of the WD repeat RAPTOR protein family. It is known to be localized in the lysosomes and cytoplasm and is reported to be highly expressed in skeletal muscle, and in a lesser extent in the brain, lung, small intestine, kidney and placenta. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated. Other alias names for this target include p150 target of rapamycin (TOR)-scaffold protein containing WD-repeats, raptor, and regulatory-associated protein of mTOR.
Some RPTOR ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 10 ng/L and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
