Anti-HSF2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Heat shock transcription factor 2 is a protein that binds specifically to the heat-shock element and has homology to HSFs of other species. Mouse HSF2 was expressed in all three embryonic layers at embryonic day 7.5 and the head fold was strongly stained at embryonic day 8.5. In adults, expression is detected in spermatocytes and spermatogonia, but not in elongated spermatids, spermatozoa, or Sertoli cells. It mediates Hsp70i bookmarking, binding to 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. 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. [The UniProt Consortium]
