NF2/Merlin Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.This product is manufactured by and sold under license from OriGene Technologies and its use is limited solely for research purposes.

Neurofibromin 2 (NF2) is a tumor suppressor gene encoding the protein Merlin. Merlin is closely related to the ERM (ezrin, radixin, moesin) family of proteins. The precise funtion of Merlin is not clear. It is thought to provide a link between the actin cytoskeleten and membrane associated proteins, playing a role in transduction of extracellular signals. It has been implicated in cell proliferation and cellular motility. Mutations in the NF2 gene cause neurofibromatosis type II, a condition characterised by the development of tumors in the central nervous system.
