a The chemical structure and binding regions of rapamycin (Prod. S. hygroscopicus). b In mammals, rapamycin forms a ternary complex with FKBP12 (FK506-binding protein 12) and mTOR within the mTORC1 (mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1). This pathway is implicated in sensing environmental cues that regulate major cellular outputs
