products description :
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a heat shock transcription factor that activates the transcription of genes encoding products required for protein folding, processing, targeting, degradation, and function. Up-regulation of expression of heat shock proteins in response to stress occurs at the level of transcription through a heat shock element and a HSF transcription factor. Amino acid sequences for most HSFs are highly conserved. A DNA binding domain is at the N-terminus, hydrophobic repeats (essential to the formation of active trimers) are adjacent to this binding domain, and another short hydrophobic repeat (necessary for suppression of trimerization) occurs toward the C-terminus. HSF2 exists as two isoforms, the alpha form being more transcriptionally active than the smaller beta form. Various experiments have suggested that HSF2 may play roles in differentiation and development.

ncbi 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. [provided by RefSeq]
uniprot summary :
HSF2: DNA-binding protein that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE) and activates transcription. In higher eukaryotes, HSF is unable to bind to the HSE unless the cells are heat shocked. Belongs to the HSF family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: DNA-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6q22.31. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein homodimerization activity; transcription coactivator activity; transcription factor activity. Biological Process: transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; spermatogenesis
