Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR.
Functions as part of 2 structurally and functionally different signaling complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 (mTOR complex 1 and 2). This includes phosphorylation of EIF4EBP1 and release of its inhibition toward the elongation initiation factor 4E (eiF4E).

Accumulates in the nucleus in response to hypoxia (By similarity). Targeting to lysosomes depends on amino acid availability and RRAGA and RRAGB (PubMed:18497260, PubMed:20381137). Lysosome targeting also depends on interaction with MEAK7. Translocates
