Western blot - Anti-NF2 / Merlin antibody [RP23040199] (AB308025)
Knockdown of NF2 was achieved by transfecting PC3 cells with NF2 specific siRNA. Western blot analysis was performed using whole cell lysates from the NF2 knock down cells (lane 3), non-specific scrambled siRNA transfected cells (lane 2) and untransfected cells (lane 1). The blots were probed with ab308025, 1-2 µg/mL and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (0.4 µg/mL, 1 : 2500 dilution). Reduction of signal upon siRNA mediated knock down confirms that antibody is specific to NF2.

Western blot - Anti-NF2 / Merlin antibody [RP23040199] (AB308025)
Western blot analysis was performed on whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of DU 145 (Lane 1), SH-SY5Y (Lane 2), U-2 OS (Lane 3), A-431 (Lane 4), PC-3 (Lane 5) and tissue extracts of Mouse Brain (Lane 6) and Rat Brain (Lane 7). The blots were probed with ab308025, 1 µg/mL. A 70 kDa band corresponding to NF2 (Merlin) was observed across the cell lines and tissues tested. The blots were detected by chemiluminescence using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (0.4 µg/mL, 1 : 2500 dilution). Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using 4-12% Bis-Tris gel, electrophoresis system and pre-stained protein standard. Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody following blocking with 5% skimmed milk. Chemiluminescent detection was performed (ECL).

Product details
What are recombinant multiclonals?
Recombinant multiclonals are a mixture of recombinant antibodies co-expressed from a library of heavy and light chains. They offer several advantages including:
- - The sensitivity of polyclonal antibodies by recognising multiple epitopes
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free batch production

Biological function summary
The NF2 protein functions to control cell proliferation differentiation and motility. It associates with the cytoskeleton acting as a bridge between cell surface proteins and the actin cytoskeleton. Merlin as part of the ERM (ezrin radixin moesin) family contributes to the assembly of protein complexes at the cell membrane. Through its interactions it plays a significant role in maintaining proper cell signaling and structural integrity.
Pathways
NF2 protein integrates into the Hippo signaling pathway which regulates organ size by controlling cell growth and apoptosis. Within this pathway Merlin interacts with members such as YAP1 and LATS1/2 moderating their activity to prevent over-proliferation of cells. NF2 also connects with the mTOR pathway which is critical for cell metabolism and growth further emphasizing its regulatory functions in cellular homeostasis.
