HSF2 Antibody – Rat Monoclonal

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.

Small volumes of anti-HSF2 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
