Gene Information

human ... BAG4(9530)

General description

The gene BAG4 (Bcl associated anthanogene family molecular chaperone regulator 4) is mapped to human chromosome 8q12. It is widely expressed. BAG4 localizes in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. BAG4 is also referred as SODD (silencer of death domains).

Immunogen

BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 4 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

BAG4 (Bcl associated anthanogene family molecular chaperone regulator 4) functions as an adaptor and interacts with Hsp (Heat shock protein)-90/Hsc70. It interacts with tumor necrosis factor receptor type-1 (TNF-R1) and negatively regulates the apoptosis-inducing signaling pathway mediated by TNF-R1. It is also a regulator of CD95 activity. In addition, BAG4 binds to apobec-1 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide 1) and negatively regulates apobec-1-mediated apolipoprotein B mRNA editing. BAG4 also protects melanoma cells from apoptosis.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

BAG (Bcl-2-associated athanogene) proteins are molecular chaperone regulators that affect diverse cellular pathways. All members share a conserved motif, called the BAG domain (BD), which binds to Hsp70/Hsc70 family proteins and modulates their activity. We have determined the solution structure

Melanoma is an aggressive cancer that metastasizes rapidly and is refractory to conventional chemotherapies. Identifying microRNAs (miRNAs) that are responsible for this pathogenesis is therefore a promising means of developing new therapies.
