Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human Bag1, different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by three amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 33, 46, 56 kDa; calculated MW: 38779 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 1; BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 1. 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. Functional note: 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. . Reported localization: Isoform 1: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Isoform 1 localizes predominantly to the nucleus. Expression/tissue context: 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). .
