Ezrin/radixin/moesin family C terminal This entry represents the C-terminal domain of the ERM family of proteins which consists of three closely-related proteins, ezrin, radixin and moesin. These proteins link actin filaments of cell surface structures to the plasma membrane, using a C-terminal F-actin binding segment and an N-terminal FERM domain (pfam00373), a common membrane binding module. Ezrin was first identified as a constituent of microvilli, radixin as a barbed, end-capping actin-modulating protein from isolated junctional fractions and moesin as a heparin binding protein. A tumour suppressor molecule responsible for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is highly similar to ERM proteins and has been designated merlin (moesin-ezrin-radixin-like protein). This entry represents the C-terminal actin-binding tail domain. This entry also includes Ermin proteins, oligodendrocyte-specific proteins associated with the cytoskeleton whose C-terminal domain is similar to that in ERM family.
