The ability to maintain cellular metabolic homeostasis is critical to life, in which mTOR plays an important role. This kinase integrates upstream nutrient signals and performs essential functions in physiology and metabolism by increasing metabolism and suppressing autophagy. Thus, dysregulation of mTOR activity leads to diseases, especially metabolic diseases such as cancer, type 2 diabetes and neurological disorders. Therefore, inhibition of overactivated mTOR becomes a rational approach to treat a variety of metabolic diseases. In this review, we discuss how mTOR responds to upstream signals and how mTOR regulates metabolic processes, including protein, nucleic acid, and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, we discuss the possible causes and consequences of dysregulated mTOR signaling activity, and summarize relevant applications, such as inhibition of mTOR activity to treat these diseases. This review will advance our comprehensive knowledge of the association between mTOR and metabolic homeostasis, which has significant ramifications for human health.
