Background: NF2/Merlin

NF2 (Neurofibromin-2; also Merlin) is a 70‑75 kDa tumor suppressor protein belonging to the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins. It participates in contact‑mediated cell adhesion, thereby blocking cell proliferation and migration. Human NF2 is 595 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains three general regions. There is an N‑terminal FERM domain (aa 1‑302), a alpha -helical rod central region (aa 303‑478), and a unique carboxy-terminal domain (aa 479‑595). Confluence requires an absence of phosphorylation at Ser516 and Ser10. There are multiple potential splice variants. Four short forms less that 260 aa in length lack the aa range used for antigen immunization. There are at least eight additional isoforms that basically show an alternate start site coupled to an 11 aa substitution for aa 579‑595. Lack of NF2 is associated with neurofibromatosis type II.
