TSC1, also known as hamartin, functions as a critical tumor suppressor within the TSC1-TSC2 complex, where it serves as an essential regulator of the mTOR signaling pathway. This complex integrates cellular signals related to growth factors, energy status, and nutrient availability, making TSC1 a key focus in cancer biology, metabolic disease research, and studies of tuberous sclerosis complex, a genetic disorder characterized by benign tumor formation across multiple organ systems.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6B3, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human TSC1 protein, the recombinant format ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. Affinity chromatography purification further enhances performance by reducing background interference.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates this antibody's experimental versatility. Western blot analysis in K562 whole cell lysate reveals a band at approximately 150 kDa, slightly larger than the predicted 130 kDa molecular weight. This size difference likely reflects post-translational modifications, particularly glycosylation, which is commonly observed with TSC1. Immunofluorescence staining in HeLa cells successfully visualizes TSC1 localization, while flow cytometry analysis in the same cell line confirms reliable detection with clear separation from isotype control, supporting quantitative single-cell applications.
Whether investigating mTOR pathway dysregulation in cancer models, exploring metabolic signaling networks, or characterizing tuberous sclerosis-related phenotypes, this antibody provides researchers with a dependable tool validated across western blot, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry workflows in human samples.
