Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human Bag5 recombinant protein (Position: N389-Y447). Human Bag5 shares 96.6% and 93.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Bag5, respectively. (reported region: N389-Y447).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 51 kDa; calculated MW: 51200 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, IF, ICC, 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 5; BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 5. BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAG5 gene. It is mapped to 14q32.33. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the BAG1-related protein family. Bag5 is a negative regulator of both Hsp70 and parkin function that sensitizes dopaminergic neurons to injury-induced death and thus promotes neurodegeneration. Functional note: Inhibits both auto-ubiquitination of PARK2 and ubiquitination of target proteins by PARK2 (By similarity). May function as a nucleotide exchange factor for HSP/HSP70, promoting ADP release, and activating Hsp70-mediated refolding. . Reported localization: Perinuclear region. Expression/tissue context: Expressed in all tissues examined with lower levels in brain and testis.
Research relevance and current trends
- Interleukins: Researchers commonly examine how BAG5 (BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 5) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative BAG5 (BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 5) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
