General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Probably acts as a membrane stabilizing protein. May inhibit PI3 kinase by binding to AGAP2 and impairing its stimulating activity. |
| Subunit structure | Interacts with SLC9A3R1, HGS and AGAP2. Interacts with LAYN By similarity. Interacts with SGSM3. Interacts (via FERM domain) with MPP1. Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.15 |
| Subcellular location | Isoform 1: Cell projection › filopodium membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection › ruffle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note: In a fibroblastic cell line, isoform 1 is found homogeneously distributed over the entire cell, with a particularly strong staining in ruffling membranes and filopodia. Colocalizes with MPP1 in non-myelin-forming Schwann cells. Ref.15 Ref.4 Isoform 7: Cytoplasm › perinuclear region. Cytoplasmic granule. Note: Observed in cytoplasmic granules concentrated in a perinuclear location. Isoform 7 is absent from ruffling membranes and filopodia. Ref.15 Ref.4 Isoform 9: Cytoplasm › perinuclear region. Cytoplasmic granule. Note: Observed in cytoplasmic granules concentrated in a perinuclear location. Isoform 9 is absent from ruffling membranes and filopodia. Ref.15 Ref.4 Isoform 10: Nucleus. Cell projection › filopodium membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection › ruffle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm › perinuclear region. Cytoplasmic granule. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton. Note: In a fibroblastic cell line, isoform 10 is found homogeneously distributed over the entire cell, with a particularly strong staining in ruffling membranes and filopodia. Ref.15 Ref.4 |
| Tissue specificity | Widely expressed. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are predominant. Isoform 4, isoform 5 and isoform 6 are expressed moderately. Isoform 8 is found at low frequency. Isoform 7, isoform 9 and isoform 10 are not expressed in adult tissues, with the exception of adult retina expressing isoform 10. Isoform 9 is faintly expressed in fetal brain, heart, lung, skeletal muscle and spleen. Fetal thymus expresses isoforms 1, 7, 9 and 10 at similar levels. |
| Involvement in disease | Defects in NF2 are the cause of neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) [MIM:101000]; also known as central neurofibromatosis. NF2 is a genetic disorder characterized by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (formerly called acoustic neuromas), schwannomas of other cranial and peripheral nerves, meningiomas, and ependymomas. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion with full penetrance. Affected individuals generally develop symptoms of eighth-nerve dysfunction in early adulthood, including deafness and balance disorder. Although the tumors of NF2 are histologically benign, their anatomic location makes management difficult, and patients suffer great morbidity and mortality. Ref.17 Ref.18 Ref.21 Ref.24 Ref.25 Ref.26 Ref.28 Ref.29 Ref.31 Ref.32 Ref.33 Defects in NF2 are a cause of schwannomatosis [MIM:162091]; also known as congenital cutaneous neurilemmomatosis. Schwannomas are benign tumors of the peripheral nerve sheath that usually occur singly in otherwise normal individuals. Multiple schwannomas in the same individual suggest an underlying tumor-predisposition syndrome. The most common such syndrome is NF2. The hallmark of NF2 is the development of bilateral vestibular-nerve schwannomas; but two-thirds or more of all NF2-affected individuals develop schwannomas in other locations, and dermal schwannomas may precede vestibular tumors in NF2-affected children. There have been several reports of individuals with multiple schwannomas who do not show evidence of vestibular schwannoma. Clinical report suggests that schwannomatosis is a clinical entity distinct from other forms of neurofibromatosis. Ref.35 |
