The four-and-a-half-LIM domain (FHL) proteins include FHL-1 (SLIM1), FHL-2 (SLIM3), FHL-3 (SLIM2) and FHL-4.
The signature “half-domain”, a single zinc finger domain located in the N-terminal region, differentiates FHLs from other LIM-only proteins, which have numbers of zinc fingers.
Specific combinations of FHL proteins elicit selective activation of both CREB and CREM.
Skeletal and cardiac muscle express FHL-1 in high levels as compared to the low level of expression in smooth muscle of the colon, small intestine and prostate.
FHL-1 localizes to the cytosol of myoblasts, myotubes, and differentiated myocytes.
FHL-2 is also located in cardiac and skeletal muscle, as well as in placenta and ovary tissues.
FHL-3 is found in skeletal muscle, but absent in cardiac muscle.
FHL-4 is expressed exclusively by the seminiferous epithelium of the testis, which suggests that FHL-4 is involved in spermatogenesis.
The genetic loci for FHLs vary considerably despite similiar amino acid sequences among the FHL group.
