NF2 (moesin–ezrin–radixin-like [MERLIN] tumor suppressor) is a member of the band 4.1 superfamily of proteins and is closely related to ezrin–radixin–moesin (ERM) proteins, which functions as links between the cell membrane and actin filaments (Bretscher et al, 2002; Laulajainen et al, 2008). This evidence concerns the gene NF2 and neoplasm.
