Protein name Heat shock factor protein 2 (HSF 2) (Heat shock transcription factor 2) (HSTF 2)
Protein function 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.
