{"symbol":"HSF2","synonyms":["HSF 2","HSTF 2"],"name":"heat shock transcription factor 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HSF family of transcription factors that bind specifically to the heat-shock promoter element and activate transcription. Heat shock transcription factors activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
