Gene information for BAG1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID573
Official gene symbolBAG1
Full nameBCL2-associated athanogene
Aliases,HAP,RAP46,
Gene summaryThe 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. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by this mRNA through the use of a non-AUG (CUG) initiation codon, and three alternative downstream AUG initiation codons. A related pseudogene has been defined on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq]
