CREB-Regulated Transcription Coactivator 1, also known as MECT1, TORC1 or KIAA0616, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CRTC1 gene. By sequence analysis, Tonon et al.(2003) mapped the gene to chromosome 19p13. Kovacs et al.(2007) found that it was expressed in adult mouse brain and cultured neurons, and that it translocated to the nucleus upon concomitant activation of calcium and cAMP signaling pathways. Mair et al.(2011) demonstrated that CRTC1 is a direct AMPK target, and interacts with the CREB homolog-1(CRH1) transcription factor in vivo. The prolongevity effects of activating AMPK or deactivating calcineurin decrease CRTC1 and CRH1 activity and induce transcriptional responses similar to those of CRH1-null worms.
