NF2 (Phospho Ser518) polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
This gene encodes a protein that is similar to some members of the ERM (ezrin| radixin| moesin) family of proteins that are thought to link cytoskeletal components with proteins in the cell membrane. This gene product has been shown to interact with cell-surface proteins| proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics and proteins involved in regulating ion transport. This gene is expressed at high levels during embryonic development; in adults| significant expression is found in Schwann cells| meningeal cells| lens and nerve. Mutations in this gene are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by nervous system and skin tumors and ocular abnormalities. Two predominant isoforms and a number of minor isoforms are produced by alternatively spliced transcripts.
