HSF1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
HSF1 
Aliases
HSTF1 
Common name
heat shock transcription factor 1 
Entrez Id
3297
Description
The product of this gene is a transcription factor that is rapidly induced after temperature stress and binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE). This protein plays a role in the regulation of lifespan. Expression of this gene is repressed by phosphorylation, which promotes binding by heat shock protein 90. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017].
