    basic FUNCTION
  • FHL3 association with MYOD1 may contribute to the regulation of MYOD-dependent transcription of muscle genes and thereby myogenesis
  • significant regulator of actin cytoskeletal dynamics in skeletal myoblasts
  • SOX15, FHL3 and FOXK1 function to coordinately regulate the myogenic progenitor cell population and skeletal muscle regeneration
  • regulates transactivation by a novel molecular mechanism, not through binding to HIF1A or EP300
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • MYOD1-associated protein (functioning as its potent negative co-transcriptional regulator)
  • bound MZF1 (negatively regulates human high-affinity IgE receptor beta-chain gene expression by acting as a transcriptional co-repressor of MZF1)
  • FHL1, FHL2, and FHL3 physically and functionally interact with SMAD2, SMAD3, and SMAD4, important regulators of cancer development and progression, in a TGF-beta-independent manner
  • is a novel ANG binding partner (this interaction may provide some clues to the mechanisms of ANG-regulated cell growth and apoptosis)
  • cell & other
