Description: BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 is a member of a conserved family of cyto-protective proteins that bind to and regulate Hsp70 family molecular chaperones. BAG3 mutations are responsible for familial dilated cardiomyopathy. Polymorphisms are also associated with sporadic forms of the disease together with HSPB7 locus. 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 in flies, mice and men.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 (LEKLEQKAIDVPGQVQ) was used as the immunogen for this Bag3 antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
Storage: After reconstitution, the BAG3 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
