Methionine controls insulin/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 activity by modulating tuberous sclerosis complex 2 stability.

abstract：:2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) brings about a wide spectrum of toxic and biochemical changes, most of which are mediated by the AH receptor (AHR). Recent cloning of the AHR from the two most TCDD-resistant laboratory animals, Han/Wistar (Kuopio) rats and hamsters, suggested a critical role for the C-termin...
