moesin


moesin

A protein that belongs to the ERM (that is, ezrin, radixin, and moesin) group of the band 4.1 superfamily of proteins that assist in the establishment of submembrane cytoskeletal scaffolds to maintain membrane architecture and functional capacity. Moesin is required for the accurate organization of the cytoskeletal component of the apical membranes.

moesin

Membrane-organising extension spike protein. A protein encoded by MSN on chromosome Xq11.1 which is localised to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell–cell recognition, signalling and cell movement.
