Summary: Predicted to enable L-leucine binding activity and oxidoreductase activity, acting on peroxide as acceptor. Involved in several processes, including TORC2 signaling; regulation of signal transduction; and response to insulin. Acts upstream of or within regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Part of TORC2 complex. Is expressed in brain; cortical plate; and embryo. Orthologous to human SESN3 (sestrin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Sestrin 3 (Sesn3) belongs to a small protein family that has been implicated in multiple biological processes including anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, cell signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Sesn3 deficiency promotes carcinogen-induced hepatocellular carcinoma via regulation of the hedgehog pathway.

Sestrins are critical mediators of exercise benefits. Genetic ablation of Sestrins prevents mice from acquiring metabolic benefits of exercise and improving their endurance through training. Sestrin upregulation mimics both molecular and physiological effects of exercise, suggesting that it is a major effector of exercise metabolism. AKT and PGC1alpha are critical for the Sestrin effects in extending endurance.

Sesn3 liver-specific knockout mice exhibit insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Sesn3 interacts with and activates mTORC2 and subsequently stimulates Akt phosphorylation at Ser473.

Study found that Sestrins (1,2 and 3) can inhibit mTORC1 signaling in the absence of AMPK or TSC2. Surprisingly, when coexpressed with a GTP-bound constitutively active form of RagB (RagBQ99L), Sestrins potentiate mTORC1 signaling in the absence of amino acids.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
