Usage
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
As part of the KICSTOR complex functions in the amino acid-sensing branch of the TORC1 signaling pathway. Recruits, in an amino acid-independent manner, the GATOR1 complex to the lysosomal membranes and allows its interaction with GATOR2 and the RAG GTPases. Functions upstream of the RAG GTPases and is required to negatively regulate mTORC1 signaling in absence of amino acids. In absence of the KICSTOR complex mTORC1 is constitutively localized to the lysosome and activated. The KICSTOR complex is also probably involved in the regulation of mTORC1 by glucose. May play a role in the cellular response to oxidative stress.

SZT2 has a central role in dictating GATOR-dependent nutrient sensing by promoting lysosomal localization of SZT2-orchestrated GATOR complex, and reveal an unexpected function of lysosome-located GATOR2 in suppressing mTORC1 signalling through SESN recruitmentPMID:28199315
