Rabbit Anti-TSC1 (KIAA0243, TSC, hamartin, LAM, Tuberous sclerosis 1 protein)

TSC1 (Tuberous Sclerosis 1), also called HAMARTIN or TSC, is a human protein and gene. As part of a comprehensive strategy to identify the gene mutant in tuberous sclerosis-1, van Slegtenhorst et al. (1997) developed an overlapping contig of clones from the 1.4-Mb TSC1 region on chromosome 9. Benvenuto et al. (2000) showed that overexpression of the TSC1 gene in rat fibroblasts inhibits growth and causes changes in cell morphology. Van Slegtenhorst et al. (1998) showed that hamartin and tuberin associate physically in vivo, however, and that the interaction is mediated by predicted coiled-coil domains.

UniProt Number
Q92574
Gene ID
TSC1
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Immunohistochemistry: paraffin Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store 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.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal of human TSC1, identical to the related rat sequence, and different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid.
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human, mouse and rat TSC1. No crossreactivity with other proteins.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
