HSFY1 heat shock transcription factor Y-linked 1

Gene ID: 86614, updated on 27-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HSFY; HSF2L

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the heat shock factor (HSF) family of transcriptional activators for heat shock proteins. This gene is a candidate gene for azoospermia, since it localizes to a region of chromosome Y that is sometimes deleted in infertile males. The genome has two identical copies of this gene within a palindromic region; this record represents the more centromeric copy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
