The recently isolated neurofibromatosis 2 tumor suppressor gene encodes a 595 amino acid protein (Merlin). The protein product Merlin, named for its relatedness to the ezrin, radixin and moesin (ERM) family of proteins, is a tumor suppressor whose absence results in the occurrence of multiple tumors of the nervous system, particularly schwannomas and meningiomas. Merlin's similarity to ERM’s suggests that it might share functions, acting as a link between cytoskeletal components and the cell membrane. The NF2 protein is highly expressed in human fibroblasts and is detected as a single band of about 75kDa. This antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of human NF2 (Merlin).
