NOTE

The Role of M-tor in Nutrient Sensing and Physiological Control

M-tor, a protein identified through research, plays a crucial role in linking nutrient availability to deciding whether the body is in a growth or breakdown mode. This connection is significant due to the importance of nutrient availability throughout human evolutionary history. The protein has various functions because almost all physiological aspects are influenced by nutrient availability. Further research led to the identification of protein complexes M-tor-1 and M-tor-2, enhancing the understanding of how M-tor senses nutrients through binding with specific proteins.
