Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.\n\u003cb\u003eProtocol\u003c\/b\u003e\nAvailable protocols: Western Blotting\n\u003cb\u003eSpecificity \/ Sensitivity\u003c\/b\u003e\nPhospho-Tuberin\/TSC2 (Thr1462) Antibody detects endogenous levels of tuberin only when phosphorylated at threonine 1462. This antibody does not detect tuberin phosphorylated at other sites.\nSpecies Reactivity: Human, Mouse\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nPolyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr1462 of human tuberin. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nTuberin is a product of the TSC2 tumor suppressor gene and an important regulator of cell proliferation and tumor development (1). Mutations in either or the related (hamartin) gene cause tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by development of multiple, widespread non-malignant tumors (2). Tuberin is directly phosphorylated at Thr1462 by Akt\/PKB (3). Phosphorylation at Thr1462 and Tyr1571 regulates tuberin-hamartin complexes and tuberin activity (3-5). In addition, tuberin inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which promotes inhibition of p70 S6 kinase, activation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1, an inhibitor of translation initiation), and eventual inhibition of translation (3,6,7). Tuberin is phosphorylated on Ser939 and Thr1462 in response to PI3K activation, and that the human TSC complex is a direct biochemical target of the PI3K\/Akt pathway (3). This data complements Drosophila genetics studies suggesting the possible involvement of the tuberin-hamartin complex in the PI3K\/Akt mediated insulin pathway (8-10).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nFLJ43106; LAM; PPP1R160; protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 160; TSC complex subunit 2; TSC2; TSC4; Tuberin; tuberous sclerosis 2; Tuberous sclerosis 2 protein\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 200\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799441199273,"sku":"3611S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-3611s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
