Entrez Gene Summary:
Mutations in this gene lead to tuberous sclerosis complex. Its gene product is believed to be a tumor suppressor and is able to stimulate specific GTPases. The protein associates with hamartin in a cytosolic complex, possibly acting as a chaperone for hamartin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P49815 # Implicated as a tumor suppressor. May have a function in vesicular transport, but may also play a role in the regulation of cell growth arrest and in the regulation of transcription mediated by steroid receptors. Interaction between TSC1 and TSC2 may facilitate vesicular docking. Specifically stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ras-related protein RAP1A and RAB5. Suggesting a possible mechanism for its role in regulating cellular growth. Mutations in TSC2 leads to constitutive activation of RAP1A in tumors.
SIZE: 1807 amino acids; 200749 Da
SUBUNIT: Interacts with TSC1. May also interact with the adapter molecule RABEP1. The final complex contains TSC2 and RABEP1 linked to RAB5 (Probable). Interacts with HSPA1 and HSPA8.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=At steady state found in association with membranes.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Liver, brain, heart, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, biliary epithelium, pancreas, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung and placenta.
PTM: Phosphorylation at Ser-1387, Ser-1418 or Ser-1420 does not affect interaction with TSC1.
DISEASE: SwissProt: P49815 # Defects in TSC2 are the cause of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) [MIM:191100]. The molecular basis of TSC is a functional impairment of the tuberin-hamartin complex. TSC is an autosomal dominant multi-system disorder that affects especially the brain, kidneys, heart, and skin. TSC is characterized by hamartomas (benign overgrowths predominantly of a cell or tissue type that occurs normally in the organ) and hamartias (developmental abnormalities of tissue combination). Clinical symptoms can range from benign hypopigmented macules of the skin to profound mental retardation with intractable |
