CRTC1

CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 1 (CRTC1), previously referred to as TORC1 (Transducer Of Regulated CREB activity 1, not to be confused with the unrelated target of rapamycin complex 1 (is_associated_with::mTORC1)) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTC1 is_associated_with::gene. It is expressed in a limited number of tissues that include fetal brain and liver and adult heart, skeletal muscles, liver and salivary glands.

Clinical significance
Production of CRTC1 is blocked in is_associated_with::Alzheimer's disease.
