TSC2

Universal Cellular Machinery · Protein Scaffolding & Structural Architecture

Why do TSC2 and TSC1 cause overlapping biological effects?

TSC2 makes tuberin, a partner of the TSC1 protein hamartin. Their shared growth-control function explains why disrupting either part can affect the same signaling system.
