Related Product Information for
anti-TSC1 antibody
TSC1, also named as KIAA0243 and TSC, is implicated as a tumor suppressor. It is involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling. In complex with TSC2, TSC1 inhibits the nutrient-mediated or growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling. It seems not to be required for TSC2 GAP activity towards RHEB. It is involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling. Defects in TSC1 are the cause of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Defects in TSC1 may be a cause of focal cortical dysplasia of Taylor balloon cell type (FCDBC). The antibody is specific to TSC1.

NCBI Summary for TSC1
This gene encodes a growth inhibitory protein thought to play a role in the stabilization of tuberin. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009]
UniProt Comments for TSC1
TSC1: tuberous sclerosis protein 1 (TSC1). May have tumor suppressor activity. Together with tuberin (TSC2), inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-mediated signaling to eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) and ribosomal protein S6 kinase. Regulated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway and phosphorylation of tuberin. Phosphorylated by cyclin-dependent kinase 1/cyclin B during the cell cycle.
