Anti-TSC2 (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2, Tuberous Sclerosis 2 Protein, FLJ43106, LAM, TSC4, Tuberin)

TSC2, complexes with TSC1 (hamartin) to inhibit cell proliferation by antagonizing mTOR/p70S6K signaling. Its location either in the cytoplasm or the nucleus is regulated by phosphorylation and the cell cycle. Numerous point mutations are associated with development of tumors (hamartomas) in kidney, heart, skin and brain. Human TSC2 shares 91aa identity with mouse TSC2 over aa550-850. Splice variants that are missing aa946-988-989 may show different tissue distribution than full length TSC2. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1ug/ml, Immunocytochemistry: 8-25ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
