Background
Natriuretic peptide B(NPPB) Homo sapiens This gene is a member of the natriuretic peptide family and encodes a secreted protein which functions as a cardiac hormone. The protein undergoes two cleavage events, one within the cell and a second after secretion into the blood. The protein's biological actions include natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, inhibition of renin and aldosterone secretion, and a key role in cardiovascular homeostasis. A high concentration of this protein in the bloodstream is indicative of heart failure. The protein also acts as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Function
function:Unessential component of the TORC1 complex and essential component of the TORC2 complex. TORC1 controls cell growth in response to environmental signals, and is inactivated by nutrient limitation and environmental stress. Within TORC1, LST8 interacts directly with FRAP1 and enhances its kinase activity. In nutrient-poor conditions, stabilizes the FRAP1-RAPTOR interaction and favors RAPTOR-mediated inhibition of FRAP1 activity. TORC2 controls polarity of the actin cytoskeleton via the RAC1 pathway. TORC2 mediates phosphorylation of Akt/PKB on 'Ser-473' and phosphorylation of PKCalpha on 'Ser-657'.,similarity:Belongs to the WD repeat LST8 family.,similarity:Contains 7 WD repeats.,subunit:Interacts with FRAP1, RAPTOR and RHEB. Part of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) which contains LST8, FRAP1, RAPTOR and AKT1S1. TORC1 binds to and is inhibited by FKBP12-rapamycin. Part of
