mTORinteracting

mTORinteracting is a computational tool designed to study the interactions within the mTOR signaling pathway. This pathway plays a crucial role in cellular processes such as growth, proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Understanding the complex network of proteins and their interactions within the mTOR pathway is essential for deciphering its role in various physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer and metabolic disorders.

The mTORinteracting platform integrates various types of biological data, including protein-protein interaction data, gene expression profiles, and functional annotations. By leveraging these diverse datasets, the tool aims to provide a comprehensive view of the mTOR pathway's components and their regulatory relationships. Users can explore known interactions, identify potential novel interactions, and visualize the pathway's structure.

The primary functionality of mTORinteracting involves querying known interaction databases and performing analyses to predict or infer new connections. This can assist researchers in forming hypotheses about how different factors influence mTOR signaling. The tool is intended for use by molecular biologists, systems biologists, and bioinformaticians involved in studying signal transduction pathways. Its development aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the mTOR network and its implications for disease research and therapeutic development.
