Abstract

The cell cycle is a dynamic process with multiple phases regulating cell growth. The proper regulation is essential for avoiding errors and activation of cell death. Tumour suppressor proteins, including tuberin, are crucial in coordinating adequate cell growth and properly timed cell division. So, the present review article is focused on the latest aspects of the tuberin in the process of carcinogenesis. The PubMed was the main database used for the collection of latest data relating to multiple aspects of tuberin especially in context of cancer. Most of the recent studies revealed that mutation, truncation, and deregulation of the tuberin protein could definitely lead to cancer. Recent studies are also devoted to explore implications towards better understanding the progression of disease involving mis-regulated tuberin.
