General description
MSN (moesin) is a member of the ERM (ezrin, radixin and moesin) family of proteins. This family consists of three members, which have a FERM domain in the N-terminal, an α-helical linker region of ~200 amino acids, and a C-terminal of ~70 amino acids. MSN has a molecular weight of 80kDa.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
MSN (moesin) is an intracellular protein which plays a role in cell adhesion, formation of microtubules and ruffling of cell membrane. It connects the cell membrane to cytoskeleton. In mononuclear phagocytes, it regulates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated events. Studies suggest that MSN might be involved in innate immune response as well as periodontal diseases by regulating TLR4-dependent pattern recognition. Its expression is disrupted in various cancers, and is associated with poor prognosis. It is overexpressed in metastatic breast cancer cells. It might aid in the metastasis of fluid-borne tumors, by facilitating extravasation of these tumor cells, through polarization of cortex. MSN is a marker of adenomyosis, and is up-regulated in the same. It might be involved in endometrium being extended into the myometrium. It is also overexpressed in astroctyomas, which is linked to poor prognosis. It might be involved in the formation and progression of astrocytomas.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Adenomyosis is characterized by extension of endometrial glands and stromal cells into the myometrium. Here we proved that 'moesin' is a unique biomarker of adenomyosis. We selected two cases of adenomyosis that had been surgically resected and fixed with formalin.

Recently, many studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to the development, invasion and metastasis of various types of human cancers. Our recent study revealed that expression of microRNA-133a (miR-133a) was significantly reduced in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

Many physiological and pathophysiological conditions are attributable in part to cytoskeletal regulation of cellular responses to signals. Moesin (membrane-organizing extension spike protein), an ERM (ezrin, radixin and moesin) family member, is involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated events in mononuclear phagocytes; however

Many cellular processes depend on ERM (ezrin, moesin, and radixin) proteins mediating regulated linkage between plasma membrane and actin cytoskeleton. Although conformational activation of the ERM protein is mediated by the membrane PIP2, the known properties of the two described
