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 the negative regulation of DNA binding activity. Two
alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms and
possessing different transcriptional activity have been described.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
Immunogen
This HSF4 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 100-128 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human HSF4.
Western blot analysis in HL-60 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).
