  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse

  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: Anti-BCL2-Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3) [V65P1E8*D2] is specific for human BAG3. BAG3 is involved in chaperone-assisted selective autophagy. Inhibits the chaperone activity of HSP70/HSC70 by promoting substrate release. Has anti-apoptotic activity. In muscle cells, BAG3 cooperates with the molecular chaperones Hsc70 and HspB8 to induce the degradation of mechanically damaged cytoskeleton components in lysosomes. This process is called chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) and is essential for maintaining muscle activity. Defects in BAG3 are the cause of myopathy myofibrillar BAG3-related (MFM-BAG3) [MIM:612954]. A neuromuscular disorder that results in early-onset, severe, progressive, diffuse muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy, severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence, and a rigid spine in some patients.
