Gene information for HSFY1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID86614
Official gene symbolHSFY1
Full nameheat shock transcription factor, Y-linked 1
Aliases,HSF2L,HSFY,HSFY2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the heat shock factor (HSF) family of transcriptional activators for heat shock proteins. This gene is a candidate gene for azoospermia, since it localizes to a region of chromosome Y that is sometimes deleted in infertile males. The genome has two identical copies of this gene within a palindromic region; this record represents the more centromeric copy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
