Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3299
Gene name Heat shock transcription factor 4
Gene symbol HSF4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CTMCTRCT5
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q22.1
Summary Heat-shock transcription factors (HSFs) activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. HSF4 lacks the carboxyl-terminal hydrophobic repeat which is shared among all vertebrate HSFs and has been suggested to be involved in t
