Vertebrate heat shock transcription factor
This family represents the C-terminal region of vertebrate heat shock transcription factors. Heat shock transcription factors regulate the expression of heat shock proteins - a set of proteins that protect the cell from damage caused by stress and aid the cell's recovery after the removal of stress. This C-terminal region is found with the N-terminal pfam00447, and may contain a three-stranded coiled-coil trimerization domain and a CE2 regulatory region, the latter of which is involved in sustained heat shock response.
