function:DNA-binding protein that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE) and activates transcription. In higher eukaryotes, HSF is unable to bind to the HSE unless the cells are heat shocked.,similarity:Belongs to the HSF family.,subcellular location:Cytoplasmic during normal growth and moves to the nucleus upon activation.,subunit:DNA-binding homotrimer in stressed or heat shocked cells, otherwise found as a homodimer.,
