A pathway of sequential unfolding (and folding) of the native 3D structure S0. SU is the coil. The U–ν links in the intermediate Sν keep their native positions and conformations (they are shown as a solid line against the background of a dotted cloud denoting the globule), whereas the other ν links (shown in dashed line) are unfolded.

===Merlin regulation===
<scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_705/Jofre/1'>Ser-10</scene> and Ser-518 (not in the FERM domain) phosphorylations by protein kinase A (PKA) and/or p21-activated kinase(PAK) trigger the "closed" complex <ref>PMID:18071304</ref>.
Phosphorylation by PAK and PKA at Ser 518 renders the protein inactive,reducing the inhibition of cell growth.
Merlin possess a serine 10 that can also be phosphorylated by Akt. This phosphorylation directs merlin for proteasome-mediated degradation.<ref>PMID:21750658</ref>. 
Merlin plays a fundamental role in controlling the PI3K/Akt pathway by inhibiting Akt signaling <ref>PMID:15598747</ref>.


Even if the precise mechanism is not known, CD44 is absolutely required for the growth suppressive function
of merlin. The protein interacts with CD44 (a transmembrane protein) but not through the same domain as ERM proteins. This interaction mediates merlin function and is regulated by the concentration of merlin in the cell and also through the concentration of hyaluronate (CD44 ligand). <ref>PMID:11316791</ref>.
