The mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) regulates diverse metabolic processes in response to nutrient stimuli and environmental cues. In a recent issue of Science, Shin et al. report the identification of a lysosomal G protein-coupled receptor-like protein that binds to cholesterol and couples the availability of this critical macronutrient to mTORC1 activation.
