Rabbit anti-Human FHL2 Monoclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q14192

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FHL2

Target Full Name

Four and a half LIM domains protein 2

Target Function

May function as a molecular transmitter linking various signaling pathways to transcriptional regulation. Negatively regulates the transcriptional repressor E4F1 and may function in cell growth. Inhibits the transcriptional activity of FOXO1 and its apoptotic function by enhancing the interaction of FOXO1 with SIRT1 and FOXO1 deacetylation. Negatively regulates the calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in skeletal muscle and heart.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the four-and-a-half-LIM-only protein family. Family members contain two highly conserved, tandemly arranged, zinc finger domains with four highly conserved cysteines binding a zinc atom in each zinc finger. This protein is thought to have a role in the assembly of extracellular membranes. Also, this gene is down-regulated during transformation of normal myoblasts to rhabdomyosarcoma cells and the encoded protein may function as a link between presenilin-2 and an intracellular signaling pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
