Designing a Western blot for BAG3? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the BAG3 Western Blot GuideFacts about BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3.
Co-chaperone for HSP70 and HSC70 chaperone proteins.
Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP in the HSP70 and HSC70 proteins thereby triggering client/substrate protein release.Nucleotide release is mediated through its binding to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 where as the substrate release is mediated through its binding to the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 (PubMed:9873016, PubMed:27474739). Has anti-apoptotic activity (PubMed:10597216).
