Rabbit Anti-phospho-Moesin (Thr558) antibody
Moesin (for membrane-organizing extension spike protein) is a member of the ERM family which includes ezrin and radixin. ERM proteins appear to function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and actin-based cytoskeletons. Moesin is localized to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell-cell recognition and signaling and for cell movement. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Probably involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane. Cytoplasm; cytoskeleton. Apical cell membrane. Cell projection; microvillus membrane. Phosphorylated form is enriched in microvilli-like structures at apical membrane (By similarity). Increased cell membrane localization of both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms seen after thrombin treatment.
Tissue Specificity:
In all tissues and cultured cells studied.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation on Thr-558 is crucial for the formation of microvilli-like structures.
Similarity:
Contains 1 FERM domain.
