Gene information for BAG2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9532
Official gene symbolBAG2
Full nameBCL2-associated athanogene 2
Aliases,BAG-2,KIAA0576,MGC149462,dJ417I1.2,
Gene summaryBAG proteins compete with Hip for binding to the Hsc70/Hsp70 ATPase domain and promote substrate release. All the BAG proteins have an approximately 45-amino acid BAG domain near the C terminus but differ markedly in their N-terminal regions. The predicted BAG2 protein contains 211 amino acids. The BAG domains of BAG1, BAG2, and BAG3 interact specifically with the Hsc70 ATPase domain in vitro and in mammalian cells. All 3 proteins bind with high affinity to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and inhibit its chaperone activity in a Hip-repressible manner. [provided by RefSeq]
