CRTC1
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1), previously referred to as TORC1 (Transducer Of Regulated CREB activity 1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTC1 gene.[5][6][7][8] It is expressed in a limited number of tissues that include fetal brain and liver and adult heart, skeletal muscles, liver and salivary glands[9] and various regions of the adult central nervous system.[10]
