Early development of the Tsc1 Purkinje cell specific mouse knockouts.

Abstract excerpt

Tsc1 is a gene which expression results in hamartin, a protein involved in regulation of the mTOR1 pathway. Inactivation of Tsc1 gives rise to hyperactivation of the mTOR1 machinery, increased proliferation and growth of cells with subsequent cell degeneration and cell death. In humans, mutations of Tsc1 result in an inherited disorder ‑ tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) with the concomitant multiorgan...
