HSF2 (Heat shock transcription factor 2; also HSTF2) is a 60 kDa member of the HSF family of proteins. It is widely expressed and serves as a transcriptional activator of HSPs. In quiescent cells, HSF2 is a cytoplasmic homodimer; upon exposure to stress or differentiation, it homo- or hetero-trimerizes with HSF-1, and translocates to the nucleus where it impacts gene transcription. Human HSF2 is 536 amino acids (aa) in length and contains a DNA binding region (aa 7‑107), two NLSs (aa 108‑122 and 195‑210) and an HR (hydrophobic repeat) domain that mediates trimerization (aa 119‑192). There are three potential splice variants. One shows a Leu substitution for aa 260‑536, a second shows an IlePhe substitution for aa 229‑536, and a third shows a deletion of aa 393‑410. Over aa 411‑536, human HSF2 is 92% aa identical to mouse HSF2.

Scientific Data Images for HSF2 Antibody
Detection of Human/Mouse HSF2 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, human HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line, and 293T human embryonic kidney cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Human/Mouse HSF2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5227) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). A specific band was detected for HSF2 at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 3.Applications for HSF2 Antibody
