Nf2

Predicted to enable several functions, including actin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and integrin binding activity. Involved in lens fiber cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hippocampus development; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and negative regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; cleavage furrow; and ruffle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study coloboma; otitis media; renal cell carcinoma; and vestibular schwannomatosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); malignant pleural mesothelioma; meningioma (multiple); neurilemmoma; and vestibular schwannomatosis. Orthologous to human NF2 (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Nf2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
