Protein name Cytosolic arginine sensor for mTORC1 subunit 2 (Cellular arginine sensor for mTORC1 protein 2) (GATS-like protein 2)
Protein function Functions as a negative regulator of the TORC1 signaling pathway through the GATOR complex. As part of homodimers or heterodimers with CASTOR1, directly binds and inhibits the GATOR subcomplex GATOR2 and thereby mTORC1. Does not directly bind ar
