Gene information for HSF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3298
Official gene symbolHSF2
Full nameheat shock transcription factor 2
Aliases,HSF 2,HSTF 2,MGC117376,MGC156196,MGC75048,
Gene summaryHSF2, as well as the related gene HSF1, encodes a protein that binds specifically to the heat-shock element and has homology to HSFs of other species. Heat shock transcription factors activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. Although the names HSF1 and HSF2 were chosen for historical reasons, these peptides should be referred to as heat-shock transcription factors. [provided by RefSeq]
