General description

Selectively inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase (IC50 = 50 pM). Prevents the translational activation of IGF-II. Also prevents resting T-cells from entering the cell cycle, but does not directly arrest cell cycle progression. Shown to inhibit later signaling events, such as p110Rb phosphorylation, p34cdc2 kinase activation, and cyclin A synthesis. Exhibits strong binding to FK-506 binding proteins. Also reported to induce apoptosis in a murine B-cell line, to inhibit lymphokine-induced cell proliferation at the G1 phase, and to irreversibly arrest Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells in the G1 phase.

Primary Target
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)
Product does not compete with ATP.
Reversible: no
Target IC50: 50 pM inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and blocking the subsequent activation of p70 S6 kinase

Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) show immense promise for treating inflammatory diseases, attributed primarily to their potent paracrine signaling. Previous investigations demonstrated that short-term Rapamycin preconditioning of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) elevated secretion of prostaglandin E2, a pleiotropic molecule

Nascent RNA sequencing has revealed that pre-mRNA splicing can occur shortly after introns emerge from RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). Differences in co-transcriptional splicing profiles suggest regulation by cis- and/or trans-acting factors. Here, we use single-molecule intron tracking (SMIT)

Programmed cell death protein 4 (PDCD4) exerts critical functions as tumor suppressor and in immune cells to regulate inflammatory processes. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) promotes degradation of PDCD4 via mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). However, additional pathways that

The β-galactoside-binding protein Galectin-9 (Gal-9) functions as a double-edged sword during HIV infection. On the one hand, Gal-9 can reactivate HIV latently infected cells, the main barrier to achieving HIV eradication, making them visible to immune clearance. On the other
