The ERM proteins are regulated by changing from a closed conformation to an open, active state. This is due to intramolecular head–tail interactions,and also to interactions between their head and α-helical domains<ref name="utile2">PMID:22012890</ref>.Conformational changes modify the intramolecular contacts, allowing these proteins to bind to their partners.

Phosphorylation of a C-terminal threonine by Rho kinase and binding to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and protein partners, is necessary for full activation of ERM proteins <ref>PMID:14993232</ref>. They disrupt the head to tail interactions. The phosphorylations and/binding(s) determine the cellular localization and the cellular function of each specific ERM protein.

Merlin shares certain properties with the ERM family : they both have a subcellular localization to cortical actin structures and they both bind to adhesion receptors.These receptors are CD44 <ref>PMID:9330869</ref> and E-cadherin <ref>PMID:12695331</ref>.
