Rictor - RPTOR independent companion of MTOR, complex 2

Enables ribosome binding activity. Involved in embryo development; regulation of protein kinase B signaling; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of actin filament polymerization; regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Part of TORC2 complex. Is expressed in early conceptus and oocyte. Orthologous to human RICTOR (RPTOR independent companion of MTOR complex 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
