Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, which is characterized by seizures, mental retardation and hamartomatous in multiple organs. The genetic disorder is caused by the mutation in two genes - TSC1 and TSC2. The TSC2 gene is located on the chromosome 16p13.3, and it encodes the protein tuberin(1). Tuberin can interact with hamartin, encoded by TSC1 gene, to form a physical and functional complex(2). Tuberin, together with hamartin, are widely localized within epithelial cells, lymphocytes, endocrine glands and central nervous system (CNS) throughout the both normal body and TSC patients(1). Several independent investigations have demonstrated that tuberin is directly phosphorylated by Akt(2,3) and is further involved in stimulating cell growth, which provide an important link between tuberin and growth factor signaling. The loss of tuberin is associated with cell cycle deregulation and tumor suppression(4,5). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
