Anti-phospho-Hamartin, (S505) (TSC1, Tuberous Sclerosis 1 Protein, KIAA0243, TSC)

TSC1 is implicated as a tumor suppressor, and may have a function in vesicular transport. Interaction between TSC1 and TSC2 may facilitate vesicular docking Defects in TSC1 are the cause of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The molecular basis of TSC is a functional impairement of the hamartin-tuberin complex. TSC is an autosomal dominant multi-system disorder that affects especially the brain, kidneys, heart, and skin. Defects in TSC1 may be a cause of focal cortical dysplasia of Taylor balloon cell type (FCDBC). FCDBC is a subtype of cortical displasias linked to chronic intractable epilepsy. Cortical dysplasias display a broad spectrum of structural changes, which appear to result from changes in proliferation, migration, differentiation, and apoptosis of neuronal precursors and neurons during cortical development.
