    Summary
    Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; and ribosome binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling; and regulation of phosphorylation. Predicted to be part of TORC2 complex. Orthologous to human RICTOR (RPTOR independent companion of MTOR complex 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
