Antigen Species
Human
Immunogen
Human NF2 / Merlin phospho peptide corresponding to a region of the human protein conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) - TDMKRL(pS)MEIEK (aa 508-530).
Purification
Purified by antigen-affinity chromatography.
This antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed agains
Conjugation
Unconjugated

Background
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 ERMs 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 detected as a single band of about 75kD. This antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of human NF2 (Merlin).
