It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human TSC-1 with 1.54 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003cbr\u003e\nTSC-1 (Eotaxin 3 \/ CCL26) is a small cytokine within the CC chemokine family coded by a gene located on human chromosome 7. TSC-1 is also know by Macrophage inflammatory protein 4-alpha, Thymic stroma chemokine-1 and IMAC. It has known expression in heart, lung and ovarian tissue. TSC-1 expression can be induced by IL-4 stimulation which then can activate chemotaxic activity of eosinophils and basophiles by binding to the cell surface chemokine receptor CCR3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nTuberous Sclerosis Complex 1 (TSC-1) also known as hamartin is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 130 kDa. It plays a direct role in cellular signaling and regulatory functions. TSC-1 is expressed broadly across tissues which suggests its importance in maintaining normal cellular physiology. It interfaces with various signaling molecules and directly interacts with TSC-2 to form a protein complex.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTSC-1 plays a regulatory role in cell growth and proliferation. It forms a complex with TSC-2 also known as tuberin which is important for its function. This complex acts as a GAP (GTPase-activating protein) toward Rheb a small GTPase inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway. The proper regulation of this pathway ensures controlled cell size and growth emphasizing the importance of the TSC-1\/TSC-2 complex in cellular regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTSC-1 operates within the mTOR signaling pathway to influence cellular processes like autophagy and protein synthesis. It also relates to the PI3K\/AKT pathway one that is involved in the regulation of cell survival and metabolism. By interacting with TSC-2 in these pathways TSC-1 modulates the inhibition of mTORC1 thereby impacting cellular homeostasis and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\nDefects in TSC-1 can lead to tuberous sclerosis complex a condition characterized by benign tumors in multiple organs. Mutations in TSC-1 and its partner TSC-2 disrupt normal cellular functions leading to this disease. Additionally aberrations in the mTOR pathway influenced by TSC-1 malfunction have associations with certain cancers highlighting the importance of TSC-1 in maintaining cell proliferation and signaling balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843576778921,"sku":"ab223594","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab223594","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
