Abstract
Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a central regulator of metabolism, cell growth and survival. Our finding that local phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] synthesis at late endosomes/ lysosomes by class II PI3Kβ (PI3KC2β) represses mTORC1 identifies PI3KC2β as a pharmacological target for the treatment of diabetes and cancer.Entities:
