NF2 Antibody

Mutations in NF2 (neurofibromin 2) are associated with neurofibromatosis type II which is characterized by Schwann cell tumors (schwannomas) which are benign slow-growing tumors that are resistant to chemotherapeutic intervention. NF2 is a membrane/cytoskeletal associated protein that has been classified as a novel type of tumor suppressor due to its function in membrane organization versus a classic tumor suppressor function that regulates cell cycle machinery.

Alternative names for NF2 Antibody include merlin antibody, moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein antibody, schwannomin antibody, schwannomerlin antibody, SCH antibody, ACN antibody, BANF antibody.
