Today's player: #mTORi, mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamcyin inhibitors
Rapamcyin was @US_FDA approved for #kidneytransplant in 2003.
It was isolated from a soil sample from which island in 1975?

2/ Meet mTOR, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3)-related kinase (adds a phos). mTOR adds a phosphoryl group to serine/threonine residues.
It is a key component of the complexes mTORC1 and mTORC 2 - which regulate processes including cell growth, proliferation, and survival.
