Gene: TSC2
Official Full Name: TSC complex subunit 2provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: 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 cell growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

TSC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are engineered cell lines that have had the TSC2 gene selectively inactivated, providing a powerful tool for researchers investigating the mechanistic roles of this gene in cellular processes. TSC2 encodes for a regulatory protein involved in the mTOR signaling pathway, a critical area of research for understanding cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions. By utilizing these knockout cell lines, researchers can study the physiological effects of TSC2 loss-of-function, shedding light on its contributions to tumorigenesis and other pathologies influenced by mTOR pathway dysregulation.
The primary function of TSC2 involves the regulation of cell growth and proliferation through its role as a tumor suppressor. Inactivation of TSC2 leads to unrestrained cellular growth due to the activation of mTOR. By employing TSC2 Gene Knockout Cell Lines in experimental setups, scientists can elucidate the downstream effects of TSC2 deficiency, such as changes in cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and metabolic shifts. These lines facilitate diverse applications, from drug discovery to genetic research, allowing researchers to test hypotheses regarding therapeutic interventions targeting the mTOR pathway with greater precision.
Compared to alternative methods of gene disruption, such as RNA interference, TSC2 Knockout Cell Lines offer a permanent solution that enables stable expression studies and more reproducible results. Additionally, the ability to culture these cells in various conditions makes them adaptable to numerous experimental designs. Researchers will find immense value in these cell lines, as they represent a model that closely mimics the pathology related to TSC2 in human diseases, delivering clarity to molecular mechanisms and treatment responses.
