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 (PubMed:28717008).

Notes

ab251380 is the carrier-free version of ab202586.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

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.

Activity summary

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.

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.

    Western blot - Anti-FHL2 antibody [EPR17860-23] - BSA and Azide free (ab251380)

    This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab202586).

    Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab202586 observed at 32 kDa. Red - loading control ab7291 (Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] observed at 55kDa.

    ab202586 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 ab202586 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.
