Overview of Gene Research
Tbc1d7, Tre2-Bub2-Cdc16-1 domain family member 7, is a component of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The TSC complex, composed of TSC1, TSC2, and Tbc1d7, is an essential suppressor of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), a key promoter of cell growth. This complex is involved in the PI3K-mTORC1 signaling network, which directs cellular metabolism and growth [1,4,7]. Dysregulation of this network has been linked to diverse pathologies [1].

Genetic deletion of Tbc1d7 in mice shows variable increases in tissue mTORC1 signaling, with increased muscle fiber size but strength and motor defects. The most pronounced phenotype is brain overgrowth due to thickening of the cerebral cortex, with enhanced neuron-intrinsic mTORC1 signaling and growth, indicating Tbc1d7 is required for full TSC complex function in tissues, and the brain is particularly sensitive to its growth-suppressing activities [2]. In humans, Tbc1d7 mutations are associated with intellectual disability, macrocrania, patellar dislocation, and celiac disease. Patient cell lines show increased phosphorylation of 4EBP1 (a downstream target of mTORC1) and a delay in autophagy initiation [3].

In conclusion, Tbc1d7 is crucial for the function of the TSC complex in restricting mTORC1 signaling and cell growth. Mouse models with Tbc1d7 knockout have revealed its role in tissue development, especially in the brain. In humans, Tbc1d7 mutations are associated with specific disease conditions related to abnormal mTORC1 activation, highlighting the importance of Tbc1d7 in maintaining normal physiological functions [2,3].
