Function |
DNA-binding protein that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE). Isoform HSF4A represses transcription while the isoform HSF4B activates transcription. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16371476}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Nucleus.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, eye and brain, and at much lower levels in some other tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12089525}.
