Researchers found that mouse embryos exposed to alcohol, methyl - mercury, or maternal seizures activate a single gene, HSF1, also known as heat shock factor, in cerebral cortex. (sciencedaily.com)
Orchestrating the HSPs is a take - charge protein called heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). (sciencemag.org)
Experiments proved that Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1), a sort of protective switch against some types of cellular stress, could bind to the TTR gene's promoter (a segment of DNA near the TTR gene). (faith.org.uk)
