Abstract excerpt
The loss of NF2 gene function leads to vestibular nerve schwannoma formation in humans. The NF2 gene product, Merlin/Schwannomin, has recently been found to interact with the two PDZ domains containing protein EBP50/NHE-RF, which is itself known to interact with the PDGF receptor (PDGFR) in sever...
