Activity summary

Ezrin also known as cytovillin or villin-2 is a protein belonging to the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family. It is approximately 81 kDa in molecular weight. Ezrin plays a critical role in linking the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. This interaction occurs through its ability to bind to membrane proteins and phospholipids facilitating structural support and signal transduction. Ezrin is widely expressed in epithelial tissues but it also occurs in other cell types such as lymphocytes and osteoclasts.

Biological function summary

Ezrin functions as a membrane-microfilament linker and is essential for maintaining cell shape adhesion and motility. It is an integral component of many cellular structures including microvilli and ruffles. Ezrin’s activity often involves forming complexes with other proteins such as EBP50 and F-actin which are fundamental for its role in cellular morphogenesis. These interactions allow ezrin to regulate membrane surface structure and cell surface organization.

Pathways

Ezrin participates in various signaling pathways that are essential for cell migration and invasion. One key pathway is the Rho family of GTPases which regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Ezrin interacts with proteins like Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) that influence cell contraction and motility. Additionally ezrin is involved in the MAPK/ERK pathway which influences cell growth and survival by interacting with other signaling molecules.

Associated diseases and disorders

Ezrin shows significant relevance to cancer progression and metastasis particularly in conditions like osteosarcoma. Ezrin overexpression correlates with increased metastatic potential and poor clinical outcomes. It also has implications in allergic diseases due to its role in immune cell function. In these contexts ezrin interacts with SRC family kinases which are important for transmitting signals from cell-surface receptors to downstream pathways influencing disease development and progression.

    Overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with ab198520 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab198520, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 488 (Alexa Fluor® 488 Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab199091) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in SH-SY5Y cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

    ab198520 staining Ezrin in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab198520 at 1/100 dilution (shown in green) and Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLacells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).
