Tsc2

Enables 14-3-3 protein binding activity and GTPase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including anoikis; chemical synaptic transmission; and negative regulation of TORC1 signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular protein transport; negative regulation of lymphocyte proliferation; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm. Part of TSC1-TSC2 complex. Is active in lysosomal membrane and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Used to study autism spectrum disorder; tuberous sclerosis; and uterine fibroid. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatic angiomyolipoma; lymphangioleiomyomatosis; medulloblastoma; tuberous sclerosis; and tuberous sclerosis 2. Orthologous to human TSC2 (TSC complex subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tsc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
