The TSC2 gene provides instructions for producing a protein called tuberin. Within cells, tuberin interacts with a protein called hamartin, which is produced from the TSC1 gene. These two proteins help control cell growth and division (proliferation) and cell size.

Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), also known as tuberin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TSC2 gene. Mutations in this gene lead to tuberous sclerosis. Its gene product is believed to be a tumor suppressor and is able to stimulate specific GTPases.

2024年12月25日 · TSC2 (TSC Complex Subunit 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TSC2 include Lymphangioleiomyomatosis and Focal Cortical Dysplasia, Type Ii. Among its related pathways are Translation Insulin regulation of translation and MTOR signalling.

1999年7月13日 · Phenotype Correlations by Gene. TSC2 pathogenic variants are associated with a more severe phenotype than TSC1 pathogenic variants. A higher percentage of individuals with more severe features of TSC have a de novo TSC2 pathogenic variant versus a de novo TSC1 pathogenic variant [Au et al 2007].

Tuberous sclerosis is caused by the mutation of one of two tumor suppressor genes, TSC1 or TSC2. Currently, the development of novel techniques and great advances in high-throughput genetic analysis made mutation screening of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes more widely available.

2025年3月4日 · This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein tuberin. Tuberin interacts with hamartin to form the TSC protein complex which functions in the control of cell growth. This TSC protein complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic ...

Tuberous sclerosis proteins 1 and 2, also known as TSC1 (hamartin) and TSC2 (tuberin), form a protein-complex. The encoding two genes are TSC1 and TSC2. The complex is known as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in these genes can cause tuberous sclerosis complex.

Tuberous sclerosis 2 (TSC2) is a gene that encodes a protein that acts as a tumor suppressor as well as an activator of GTPases. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as parathyroid cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

2016年5月26日 · Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects multiple organ systems and is caused by loss-of-function mutations in one of two genes: TSC1 or TSC2. The disorder...

2025年2月4日 · Tuberous sclerosis complex is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, affecting multiple systems. These genes produce proteins that regulate mTORC1 activity, essential for cell function and metabolism. While mTOR inhibitors have advanced treatment, maintaining long-term therapeutic success is still challenging.
