| Research Abstract |
AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of cellular energy. Although dysregulation of mTOR activity is observed in many types of cancer cells, the precise mechanism remains unclear. In this research, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the proteins expressed in cultured cells and found novel proteins involved in AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway. Our studies provide a new mechanism of AMPK-mTOR signaling pathway and will contribute to the development of new anti-cancer drugs.
