Rapamycin is a clinically relevant immunosuppressant which inhibits the response to interleukin-2 blocking activation of T- and B-cells (1). This compound forms a complex with cytosolic FK-binding protein 12 (FKB12) that binds to mTOR Complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibiting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (2), it also binds to mTORC2 leading to decreased glucose tolerance and insensitivity to insulin (3) and induces autophagy (4).
