HSF2, Official Symbol HSF2provided by HGNC Official Full Name heat shock transcription factor 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:5225 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000025156 MIM:140581; AllianceGenome:HGNC:5225 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as HSF 2; HSTF 2 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.
