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.Rabindran S.K., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 88:6906-6910(1991).Ota T., Nat.

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous levels of total HSF1 protein.
Function as a stress-inducible and DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the expression of a large class of molecular chaperones heat shock proteins (HSPs) that protect cells from cellular insults' damage
