Ezrin is concentrated in the apical microvilli of a wide variety of epithelial cells whereas moesin is found primarily in endothelial cells
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
Ezrin and moesin are two cytoskeletal proteins originally purified from human placenta that are 74% identical in overall protein sequence. They are believed to be membrane-cytoskeletal linking proteins because they share sequence homology with erythrocyte band 4.1 and colocalize with actin specifically in microvilli and membrane ruffles in cultured cells. To determine if ezrin and moesin share similar...
