NCIt definition : Merlin (595 aa, 70 kDa) is encoded by the human NF2 gene. This protein plays a role
in the progression of apoptotic signaling pathways.;
NCIt note : Merlin protein (schwannomin, NF2 gene product) exhibits similarity to erythrocyte
protein 4.1 and members of the ERM family (moesin, ezrin, and radixin), proteins thought
to link cytoskeletal components with cell membrane proteins.;
