Anti-Bag1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro594 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 1 (BAG1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAG1 gene. Human BAG1 is mapped to chromosome 9p12, a region associated with hereditary disorders that may involve developmental dysregulation of programmed cell death. The Bag1 protein is rich in glutamic acid residues. Its deduced 274-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 31 KD. Being the BCL-2-associated athanogene, Bag1 enhances the anti-apoptotic effects of BCL2 and represents a link between growth factor receptors and anti-apoptotic mechanisms.

Tissue Specificity
Isoform 4 is the most abundantly expressed isoform. It is ubiquitously expressed throughout most tissues, except the liver, colon, breast and uterine myometrium. Isoform 1 is expressed in the ovary and testis. Isoform 4 is expressed in several types of tumor cell lines, and at consistently high levels in leukemia and lymphoma cell lines. Isoform 1 is expressed in the prostate, breast and leukemia cell lines. Isoform 3 is the least abundant isoform in tumor cell lines (at protein level) . .

Immunogen affinity purified.
Form
Liquid
Function
Inhibits the chaperone activity of HSP70/HSC70 by promoting substrate release. Inhibits the pro-apoptotic function of PPP1R15A, and has anti-apoptotic activity. Markedly increases the anti-cell death function of BCL2 induced by various stimuli. .
