TSC2 Antibody

Tuberous sclerosis 2, also known as TSC2 or Tuberin is a protein that is in humans. Mutations in this gene lead to tuberous sclerosis complex. TSC2 is believed to be a tumor suppressor and is able to stimulate specific GTPases. It associates with hamartin in a cytosolic complex, possibly acting as a chaperone forHamartin. TSC2 is involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling. It stimulates weakly the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ras-related proteins RAP1A andRAB5in vitro.
