Humans express the following heat shock factors:

gene	protein
HSF1	heat shock transcription factor 1
HSF2	heat shock transcription factor 2
	heat shock transcription factor 2 binding protein
HSF4	heat shock transcription factor 4
	heat shock transcription factor family member 5
	heat shock transcription factor family, X linked 1
	heat shock transcription factor family, X linked 2
	heat shock transcription factor, Y-linked 1
