Mouse Heat shock factor protein 1 (Hsf1) ELISA Kit

This sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of mouse Heat shock factor protein 1 (HSF1) in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The assay detects both natural and recombinant mouse HSF1, with synonyms including Heat shock transcription factor 1, HSTF 1, and HSF 1.

Detection is by colorimetric readout and the kit is reactive against mouse samples. Manufacturer-stated performance figures include a detection range of 0.312-20ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.158ng/mL. The associated Uniprot identifier is P38532.

HSF1 is a stress-inducible DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response, driving expression of molecular chaperones (HSPs) that protect cells from damage. Dysregulation of HSF1 has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders, making the kit well suited to research into cellular stress responses and protein homeostasis.
