Target Details

• Target: Rheb
• Target background: Rheb (Ras homolog enriched in brain) is an evolutionarily conserved member of the Ras superfamily of small GTP binding proteins. Rheb is expressed at high levels in the brain, but is also found in many other tissues, and can be induced by growth factor stimulation. It is ubiquitously expressed in humans and other mammals. Rheb triggers activation of the Raf-MEK-MAPK pathway and has an important role in regulating the insulin/Target of rapamycin (TOR) signalling pathway, and the cell cycle. Rheb stimulates the phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 through activation of mTORC1 signalling. Overexpression of Rheb can be seen in multiple human carcinomas.
