Detection Method:Sandwich
Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate TS in samples. An antibody specific for TS has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyTS present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for TS is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of TS bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Product Overview:Tuberous sclerosis protein 1, also known as TSC1 or hamartin, This peripheral membrane protein was implicated as a tumor suppressor. It may be also involved in vesicular transport and docking, in complex with TSC2.Defects in this gene may cause tuberous sclerosis, due to a functional impairment of the hamartin-tuberin complex. Defects in TSC1 may also be a cause of focal cortical dysplasia.In complex with TSC2, inhibits the nutrient-mediated or growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling. Seems not to be required for TSC2 GAP activity towards RHEB. Implicated as a tumor suppressor. Involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling.
