gene: rict-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in mesendoderm development. Part of TORC2 complex. Expressed in several structures, including head neurons; intestine; pharynx; spermatheca; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast ductal carcinoma; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RICTOR (RPTOR independent companion of MTOR complex 2).
