The TBC1D7 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC047090) is a key tool for researchers studying TBC1D7, a protein involved in cellular processes such as vesicle trafficking and membrane dynamics. This antibody, produced in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to the TBC1D7 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in a variety of cell types, making it a valuable asset for studies in cell biology and molecular biology research.TBC1D7 is a crucial player in regulating vesicle trafficking pathways, which are essential for maintaining cell homeostasis and facilitating cellular communication.
Its role in membrane dynamics suggests its involvement in processes like endocytosis, exocytosis, and signal transduction. Understanding the function of TBC1D7 can provide insights into how cells regulate their internal environment and interact with external stimuli, making it a target of interest for researchers studying intracellular transport mechanisms and signaling pathways.

Background:
Component of the TSC-TBC complex, that contains TBC1D7 in addition to the TSC1-TSC2 complex and consists of the functional complex possessing GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity toward RHEB in response to alterations in specific cellular growth conditions. The small GTPase RHEB is a direct activator of the protein kinase activity of mTORC1 and the TSC-TBC complex acts as a negative regulator of mTORC1 signaling cascade by acting as a GAP for RHEB. Participates in the proper sensing of growth factors and glucose, but not amino acid, , by mTORC1. It is unclear whether TBC1D7 acts as a GTPase-activating protein and additional studies are required to answer this question.

NCBI Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the TBC-domain containing protein family. The encoded protein functions as a subunit of the tuberous sclerosis TSC1-TSC2 complex which plays a role in the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive megalencephaly. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Naturally occurring readthrough transcription occurs between this locus and downstream LOC100130357. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
