Tsc1 Knockout Cell Lines

Gene: TSC1

Official Full Name: TSC complex subunit 1provided by HGNC

Gene Summary: This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein hamartin. The encoded protein interacts with and stabilizes the GTPase activating protein tuberin. This hamartin-tuberin complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic cell growth. This protein also functions as a co-chaperone for Hsp90 that inhibits its ATPase activity. This protein functions as a facilitator of Hsp90-mediated folding of kinase and non-kinase clients, including TSC2 and thereby preventing their ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Background

TSC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cellular models that have undergone targeted gene editing to disrupt the TSC1 gene, which is crucial in regulating the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. This pathway is implicated in various cellular processes, including growth, proliferation, and metabolism, making TSC1 Knockout Cell Lines essential tools for studying cellular responses in the context of cancer, neurodevelopmental disorders, and metabolic syndromes.

The primary function of these cell lines lies in their ability to facilitate the investigation of the TSC1 gene's role in cellular signaling. By knocking out TSC1, researchers can observe alterations in mTOR activity, leading to insights into how dysregulation of this pathway contributes to disease processes. This model allows for the exploration of therapeutic strategies targeting the mTOR pathway and the assessment of drug efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo settings.

Scientifically, TSC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable to both basic and applied research. In clinical settings, they serve as a critical resource for understanding tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and its associated tumors, providing a platform for testing novel treatments. The unique ability to manipulate and study these cells in a controlled environment empowers researchers to gain deeper insights into pathophysiological mechanisms, potentially leading to breakthroughs in therapeutic interventions.

Compared to traditional models, TSC1 Knockout Cell Lines offer numerous advantages, including high specificity in gene targeting and consistent cellular behavior due to uniform genetic backgrounds. This reliability can significantly enhance reproducibility in experiments, reducing variability that often complicates research with primary cells or poorly characterized tumor lines.

For researchers and clinicians alike, the availability of TSC1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines can accelerate scientific discovery and drug development, contributing substantially to the fight against diseases influenced by the mTOR pathway. Our company specializes in providing high-quality, validated biological products such as these cell lines, ensuring that your research is supported by the best resources available.
