Gene: HSF2

Alternate names for this Gene: HSF 2|HSTF 2

Gene Summary: 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 gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q22.31

Description of this Gene: heat shock transcription factor 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
