Product Introduction:

vPair^TM antibodies represent a pair of fully characterized antibodies that recognize two different regions of a target protein. The product is developed by Abiocode to address whether the signal observed truly represents the protein of interest, an often encountered issue in antibody-based assays. The use of a pair of fully characterized vPair^TM antibodies in the same assay can validate signal specificity since vPair^TM antibodies recognize two independent epitopes of the same protein. Different sets of vPair^TM antibodies are developed at Abiocode to work with specific applications, including antibody arrays, Western blot, IP-Western, ChIP, IHC, and FACS.

Background:

Tuberin (TSC2) forms a complex with TSC1 and inhibits the nutrient-mediated or growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling. TSC2 acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for the small GTPase RHEB, a direct activator of the protein kinase activity of mTORC1. It is implicated as a tumor suppressor. TSC2 is involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling.  Mutations in TSC2 lead to constitutive activation of RAP1A in tumors. Defects in TSC2 cause tuberous sclerosis type 2 (TSC2) and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).

Other Names:

Tuberin, Tuberous sclerosis 2 protein, TSC4

Source and Purity:

Rabbit polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunizing animals with a GST-fusion protein containing either the N-terminal [TSC2 (N) (R0853-1)] or the C-terminal [TSC2 (C2) (R0853-3)] region of human TSC2. Antibodies were purified by affinity purification using immunogen.
