Abstract excerpt
Heat shock factors (HSFs) are the major transcription factors responsible for heat-induced upregulation of heat shock protein (Hsp) genes. All three mammalian HSFs (HSF1, HSF2, HSF4) have also been shown to be required for normal mammalian development. It is currently unknown if HSFs play similarly important roles during normal development of non-mammalian vertebrates. In the present study, a morpholino modified...
