HSF1 is a key regulator of the stress response. It becomes hyperphosphorylated following heat shock (results in the shifting of the HSF1 protein to slightly higher MW) and HSF1 protein rapidly accumulates during heat stress. HSF1 appears to be constitutively present as high molecular weight complexes, presumably trimers. It also interacts with cytosolic HSP70A.

store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes.
