    Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22908, USA
    J Biol Chem 282:20036-44. 2007
    ..We, therefore, propose that PRAS40 regulates mTORC1 kinase activity by functioning as a direct inhibitor of substrate binding...

    Anil Kumar
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia Health System, P O Box 800735, 1300 Jefferson Park Ave, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
    Mol Cell Biol 28:61-70. 2008
    ..Thus, rictor in muscle tissue contributes to glucose homeostasis by positively regulating insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and negatively regulating basal glycogen synthase activity...

    Lifu Wang
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22908, USA
    J Biol Chem 284:14693-7. 2009
    ..Therefore, our findings indicate that mTOR-mediated raptor phosphorylation plays an important role on activation of mTORC1...

    Anil Kumar
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
    Diabetes 59:1397-406. 2010
    ..To determine the physiological role of rictor/mTORC2 in insulin signaling and action in fat cells, we developed fat cell-specific rictor knockout (FRic(-/-)) mice...

    Hyun Bae Kim
    Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia School of Medicine, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA
    Mol Cell Biol 30:3126-39. 2010
    ..These observations place lipin 1 as a potentially important link between triacylglycerol synthesis and adipose tissue inflammation...
