Rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RICTOR gene.[1][2]

RICTOR and MTOR (FRAP1; MIM 601231) are components of a protein complex that integrates nutrient- and growth factor-derived signals to regulate cell growth (Sarbassov et al., 2004).[supplied by OMIM][2]

Interactions

RICTOR has been shown to interact with Mammalian target of rapamycin[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and KIAA1303.[6]
