Conjugated Peptide
Human NF2 (Merlin) phospho-peptide corresponding to a region of the human protein surrounding S518 and conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
This affinity purified antibody is directed against human NF2 (Neurofibromatosis 2 gene product). The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. This phospho-specific polyclonal antibody is specific for phosphorylated pS518 of human NF2 (neurofibromatosis 2 gene product). Reactivity with non-phosphorylated Human NF2 (Merlin) is minimal by ELISA. Cross-reactivity with NF2 (Merlin) occurs in mouse tissue. Reactivity with NF2 from other sources has not been determined.

This phospho-specific polyclonal antibody was tested by immunoblotting and ELISA. By ELISA, the antibody was found to be reactive with the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide and minimally reactive with the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Immunoblotting will detect human and mouse NF2 (Merlin). Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in Immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation.

The recently isolated neurofibromatosis 2 tumor suppressor gene encodes a 595 amino acid protein (Merlin). The protein product Merlin, named for its relatedness to the ezrin, radixin and moesin (ERM) family of proteins, is a tumor suppressor whose absence results in the occurrence of multiple tumors of the nervous system, particularly schwannomas and meningiomas. Merlin's similarity to ERM’s suggests that it might share functions, acting as a link between cytoskeletal components and the cell membrane. The NF2 protein is highly expressed in human fibroblasts and is detected as a single band of about 75kDa. This antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of human NF2 (Merlin).
