Moesin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSN gene.^[1][2]

Moesin (for membrane-organizing extension spike protein) is a member of the ERM protein family which includes ezrin and radixin. ERM proteins appear to function as cross-linkers between plasma membranes and actin-based cytoskeletons. Moesin is localized to filopodia and other membranous protrusions that are important for cell-cell recognition and signaling and for cell movement.^[3]

Interactions

Moesin has been shown to interact with:

• CD43,^[4][5]
• ICAM3,^[6][7]
• Neutrophil cytosolic factor 1,^[8]
• Neutrophil cytosolic factor 4,^[8]
• VCAM-1,^[9] and
• EZR.^[10][11][12]
