... mHSF2 is associated with DNA binding in the developing brain, including cortex, striatum,olfactory bulbs and mesencephalon, before birth[ 62, 122 , 123 ]. In mice, HSF2 is expressed at all stages in ... mouse (mHSF2) and rat (rHSF2)[ 62, 63,117– 120 ]. The high expression levels of cHSF2,mHSF2 and rHSF2 are associated with nuclear locali-zation within the developing neural tube [3, 62, 121 ]. In addition, ... levels in mouse and rat [ 62, 124 ]. Rat HSF2 is still nuclear in brains at post-natal day 2, but with no detectable HSE-binding activ-ity and is cytoplasmic at postnatal day 30 [ 124 , 125 ].The...
