Merlin, also known as Neurofibromin 2 (NF2), is a tumor suppressor gene. Merlin is closely related to the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins. The precise function of Merlin is not clear. It is thought to provide a link between the actin cytoskeleten and membrane associated proteins, playing a role in transduction of extracellular signals. Merlin has been implicated in cell proliferation and cellular motility.
