Target Details for BAG3

Target: BAG3 (BCL2-Associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3))

Alternative Name: BAG3

Background:

Synonyms: BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3,BAG-3,Bcl-2-associated athanogene 3,Bcl-2-binding protein Bis,Docking protein CAIR-1,BAG3,BIS,

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in heart, brain, liver and prostate, but not in kidney, lung, adrenal, aorta and pituitary. Within the prostate, expressed in the apex, base, periurethral and lateral lobe. Isoform 4 is the most abundant isoform expressed in the prostate with high levels also detected in liver and heart. .

Background: BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 (BAG3) 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. BAG3 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.
