Fhl1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition; regulation of membrane depolarization; and regulation of potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study scapuloperoneal myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Uruguay faciocardiomusculoskeletal syndrome; X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 6; reducing body myopathy 1A; and reducing body myopathy 1B. Orthologous to human FHL1 (four and a half LIM domains 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fhl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
