Company:

Proteintech

Product Name:

Hamartin/TSC1 Polyclonal antibody

Catalog Number:

29906-1-AP

Clone Number:

I study gene signaling pathways centered on the TSC1/TSC2 complex and its negative regulation of mTORC1. I use this antibody to monitor TSC1 (Hamartin) levels by western blot when assessing how the complex controls growth and translation signaling.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Cell lysate

Primary Incubation

1:3000

Blocking Agent

5% milk in TBST

Secondary Incubation

None

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Chemiluminescence

Results Summary

Detected endogenous TSC1 as a specific that was lost in knockout controls, cleanly tracking the TSC1/TSC2 complex for mTOR pathway studies. Worked well in human cell lines.
