HSF2 Gene (Protein Coding)

Heat Shock Transcription Factor 2

GC06P122399
GIFtS:
44
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HSF family of transcription factors that bind specifically to the heat-shock promoter element and activate transcription. Heat shock transcription factors activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gen... See more...
