Background

Tuberous sclerosis 2 protein, also known as TSC2 or Tuberin is a protein that is in humans. The chromosomal location of this gene is 16p13.3. Mutations in this gene lead to tuberous sclerosis complex. Its gene product is believed to be a tumor suppressor and is able to stimulate specific GTPases. The protein associates with hamartin in a cytosolic complex, possibly acting as a chaperone for hamartin. This gene involved in microtubule-mediated protein transport, but this seems to be due to unregulated mTOR signaling. It stimulates weakly the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ras-related proteins RAP1A and RAB5 in vitro.

Function

In complex with TSC1, this tumor suppressor inhibits the nutrient-mediated or growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling (PubMed:12271141, PubMed:28215400) . Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for the small GTPase RHEB, a activator of the protein kinase activity of mTORC1 (PubMed:15340059) . May also play a role in microtubule-mediated protein transport (By similarity) . Also stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ras-related proteins RAP1A and RAB5 (By similarity) .
