REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.
User storage instructions:
Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

Moesin also known as MSN or moesin protein is part of the ERM (ezrin radixin moesin) family which links the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. It weighs around 68 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in various tissues notably in endothelial cells and other cells with high cytoskeletal dynamics. Moesin plays an essential role in maintaining cell shape polarity and enabling cellular processes like migration and adhesion.
Biological function summary
This protein serves as a crosslinker between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton influencing signal transduction pathways. Moesin participates significantly in cellular processes like cytokinesis and microvilli formation by binding actin filaments. It is part of several functional complexes ensuring proper cytoskeletal organization and cellular dynamics. Moesin's interactions with other proteins like Rho GTPases regulate its functions aiding cellular morphology and polarity.
Pathways
Moesin is actively involved in the RhoA-ROCK pathway. This pathway is fundamental to actin cytoskeletal reorganization and cell contraction. Moesin interacts with proteins such as radixin and ezrin ensuring cohesion in cytoskeletal rearrangements. Through these interactions Moesin contributes to cell motility and various signaling cascades necessary for cellular responses.
Moesin is associated with conditions such as cancer and immune system disorders. Aberrant expression of moesin can contribute to enhanced cellular migration and invasion which are mechanisms seen in cancer metastasis. Moesin's interaction with proteins like ezrin in cancer progression has been documented. Also in immune disorders altered moesin activity can affect leukocyte transmigration disrupting efficient immune responses.
