Background Information

Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor protein-merlin is involved in Hippo/SWH signaling pathway that associated with tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. It has been reported that merlin can change to phosphorylation form which inactivates merlin tumor suppressive abilities at serine 518 induced by Rac effector p21-activated kinase 2. The mutation of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene may lead to nervous system tumors, mesotheliomas and metastatic tumors.
