BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BAG1 gene.^[3]

Function

The oncogene BCL2 is a membrane protein that blocks a step in a pathway leading to apoptosis or programmed cell death. The protein encoded by this gene binds to BCL2 and is referred to as BCL2-associated athanogene. It enhances the anti-apoptotic effects of BCL2 and represents a link between growth factor receptors and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. At least three protein isoforms are encoded by this mRNA through the use of alternative translation initiation sites, including a non-AUG site.^[4]

Clinical significance

BAG gene has been implicated in age related neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's. It has been demonstrated that BAG1 and BAG 3 regulate the proteasomal and lysosomal protein elimination pathways, respectively.^[5]

Interactions

BAG1 has been shown to interact with:

• Androgen receptor,^[6][7][8]
• C-Raf,^[9]
• Calcitriol receptor,^[10]
• Glucocorticoid receptor,^[11][12]
• HSPA8,^[13][14]
• HBEGF,^[15]
• PPP1R15A,^[16]
• NR1B1,^[17] and
• SIAH1.^[18]
