Function
Rapamycin is a triene macrolide antibiotic,which demonstrates anti-fungal,anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor and immunosuppressive properties.
Rapamycin has been shown to block T-cell activation and proliferation,as well as,the activation of p70 S6 kinase and exhibits strong binding to FK506 binding proteins.
Rapamycin also inhibits the activity of the protein,mTOR(mammalian target of rapamycin) which functions in a signaling pathway to promote tumor growth.
Rapamycin binds to a receptor protein (FKBP12) and the rapamycin/FKB12 complex then binds to mTOR and prevents interaction of mTOR with target proteins in this signaling pathway.
