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. Expression of these family members occurs in a cell- and tissue-specific mode and these proteins are involved in many cellular processes. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Multiple alternately spliced transcript variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
A study in mice demonstrated that the FHL1 is a marker for stress-responsive cardiomyocytes, being expressed in the stress-responsive ventricular cardiomyocyte cluster vCM3 [Bian et al. DOI:10.3892/mmr.2025.13680]. In rhesus macaques, the FHL1 was identified as a shared upregulated differentially expressed gene between affected animals and pediatric human patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [Rivas et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-024-82770-4].
