ORP5 promotes cardiac hypertrophy by regulating the activation of mTORC1 on lysosome

Oxysterol binding protein (OSBP)-related protein 5 (ORP5) mainly functions as a lipid transfer protein at membrane contact sites (MCS). ORP5 facilitates cell proliferation through the activation of mTORC1 signaling. While the pro-hypertrophic effects of mTORC1 are well-documented, the specific role of ORP5 in the context of pathological cardiac hypertrophy remains inadequately understood.
