Moesin

Moesin is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MSN is_associated_with::gene.

Moesin (for membrane-organizing extension spike protein) is a member of the is_associated_with::ERM protein family which includes is_associated_with::ezrin and is_associated_with::radixin. ERM proteins appear to function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and is_associated_with::actin-based is_associated_with::cytoskeletons. Moesin is localized to is_associated_with::filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell-cell recognition and signaling and for cell movement.
