Research progress of mTOR signal pathway effect in cardiovascular system / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)is an atypical serine/threonine protein kinase,which is a key protein kinase regulating cell growth,proliferation,translation,metabolism and autophagy.It's first known beca- nuse inhibited by rapamycin.Research indicated that mTOR plays a key regulating role in physiological and patho- logical process of cardiovascular system.The present article mainly reviewed research progress of mTOR signal path- way effect in cardiovascular system.
