Tuberin/TSC2 Polyclonal
Description Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a human genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and the widespread development of benign and infrequently malignant tumors in a variety of tissues. Two different genetic loci have been linked to TSC; one of these loci, the tuberous sclerosis-2 gene (TSC2), encodes a protein 1784 amino acids in length, called tuberin. Tuberin exhibits a region of limited homology to the catalytic domain of Rap1 GAP. Subcellular fractionation studies have shown tuberin to be predominantly localized in membrane fractions. Tuberin is capable of stimulating the intrinsic GTPase activity of Rap 1A, but not Rap 2, H-Ras, Rac or Rho. TSC2 maps to human chromosome 16 and is associated with several intragenic mutations in affected patients. The mouse homolog of the tuberin gene maps to chromosome 17.

Vimentin [LN-6]
Description Anti-vimentin is of limited value as a diagnostic tool; however, when used in combination with other antibodies (in panels) it is useful for the subclassification of a given tumor. Expression of vimentin, when used in conjunction with anti-keratin, is helpful when distinguishing melanomas from undifferentiated carcinomas and large cell lymphomas. All melanomas and Schwannomas react strongly with anti-vimentin. This antibody recognizes a 57 kD intermediate filament. It labels a variety of mesenchymal cells, including melanocytes, lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Non-reactivity of anti-vimentin is often considered more useful than its positive reactivity, since there are a few tumors that do not contain vimentin, e.g. hepatoma and seminoma. Anti-vimentin is also useful as a tissue process control reagent.
