Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes four and a half LIM domains protein 2 (gene FHL2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 32.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 32 kDa.
Four and a half LIM domains protein 2 (FHL2) is a LIM-only protein expressed strongly in the heart that can shuttle between focal adhesions and the nucleus. It acts as a transcriptional coactivator or corepressor for a range of transcription factors and links signaling pathways to gene expression, so it is studied in cardiac biology, cell growth and cancer.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, rat heart tissue, mouse heart tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human appendiceal adenocarcinoma tissue, human lung cancer tissue, human rupture of spleen tissue, human stomach cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Recombinant human FHL2 fragment (Thr234–Ile279), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places four and a half LIM domains protein 2 in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
