HSF2 (Heat shock transcription factor 2)

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.\n\nUniProt Number:\nQ03933\n\nGene ID:\nHSF2\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year.
