[5][6] Moesin (for membrane-organizing extension spike protein) is a member of the ERM protein family which includes ezrin and radixin.
ERM proteins appear to function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and actin-based cytoskeletons.
[7] Moesin is localized to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell–cell recognition and signaling and for cell movement.
Moesin has been shown to interact with: This article incorporates text from the United States National Library of Medicine, which is in the public domain.
