Western blot - Anti-FHL2 antibody (AB12327)

Lanes 1 - 3 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab12327 observed at 32 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] observed at 55kDa.

ab12327 was shown to react with FHL2 in wild-type U-2 OS cells in western blot with loss of signal observed in FHL2 knockout sample. Wild-type and FHL2 knockout U-2 OS cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-T (0.1% Tween®) before incubation with ab12327 and ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunogen

Synthetic Peptide within Human FHL2 aa 150-250. The exact immunogen used to generate this antibody is proprietary information.

Q14192

Specificity

Reactivity with mouse FHL2 is unlikely owing to divergence of this ortholog from the peptide used for antibody production. The epitope recognized by ab1237 maps to a region between residues 175 and 225 of human Four and a Half LIM domains 2 using the numbering given in entry NP_963849.1 (GeneID 2274).

Supplementary information

The FHL2 protein also known as Four and a Half LIM Domains Protein 2 plays an important role in cellular mechanics. Its molecular mass is approximately 32 kDa. FHL2 is expressed in various tissues with significant presence in cardiac and skeletal muscles as well as the liver. It is involved in the regulation of gene expression by binding to other proteins and DNA through its LIM domains. This ability allows FHL2 to influence cellular structures and functions integrally.
Biological function summary

The FHL2 protein serves critical functions in muscle development and differentiation. It operates as part of a multiprotein complex that interacts with cytoskeletal components contributing importantly to muscle cell adhesion and communication. Moreover FHL2 engages in transcriptional regulation and acts as a coactivator or corepressor of specific transcription factors influencing gene expression patterns relevant to muscle function and maintenance.

Pathways

The FHL2 protein plays significant roles in Wnt and MAPK signaling pathways. In the Wnt signaling pathway FHL2 regulates the transcriptional activity of beta-catenin an essential component of the pathway involved in cell growth and differentiation. Additionally FHL2 contributes to the MAPK signaling pathway by influencing interactions between upstream regulators and downstream targets modulating cellular responses to external stimuli. Through these pathways FHL2 interacts with various proteins including GATA4 and TEF-1 which are vital for its regulatory functions.

FHL2 has associations with certain cancers like prostate cancer and cardiomyopathy. In prostate cancer FHL2 overexpression leads to increased tumor progression and is often linked to androgen receptors promoting malignant transformation. In cardiomyopathy alterations in FHL2 expression affect heart muscle integrity and function sometimes in conjunction with interactions involving desmin an important structural protein. Understanding FHL2's connections to these diseases offers insights into potential therapeutic targets.

Target data

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 (PubMed : 28717008).
