HSF2 / Unconjugated /

Product Details

Description	Rabbit Polyclonal to HSF2. HSF2(HEAT-SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR 2), also called HEAT-SHOCK FACTOR 2, 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. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium maps the HSF2 gene to chromosome 6. Mouse Hsf2 was expressed in all 3 embryonic layers at embryonic day 7.5 and that the head fold was strongly stained at embryonic day 8.5. In adults, Hsf2 expression is detected in spermatocytes and spermatogonia, but not in elongated spermatids, spermatozoa, or Sertoli cells. Hsp70i bookmarking is mediated by a transcription factor called HSF2, which binds this promoter in mitotic cells, recruits protein phosphatase-2A, and interacts with the CAPG subunit of the condensin enzyme to promote efficient dephosphorylation and inactivation of condensin complexes in the vicinity, thereby preventing compaction at this site. And Hsf2-null mice were born at the expected mendelian ratio but had brain abnormalities and meiotic and gametogenic defects in both genders.

About HSF2
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, Jul 2011]
