The Importance of mTOR Trafficking for Human Skeletal Muscle Translational Control

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulator of muscle protein synthesis, and its activation has long been attributed to its translocation to the lysosome. Here, we present a novel model of mTOR activation in skeletal muscle where the translocation of mTOR and the lysosome toward the cell membrane is a key process in mTOR activation.
