BAG5, KIAA0873, BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 5, BAG-5, Bcl-2-associated athanogene 5
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the BAG1-related protein family. BAG1 is an anti-apoptotic protein that functions through interactions with a variety of cell apoptosis and growth related proteins including BCL-2, Raf-protein kinase, steroid hormone receptors, growth factor receptors and members of the heat shock protein 70 kDa family. This protein contains a BAG domain near the C-terminus, which could bind and inhibit the chaperone activity of Hsc70/Hsp70. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:Inhibits the chaperone activity of HSP70/HSC70 by promoting substrate release. Inhibits both auto-ubiquitination of PARK2 and ubiquitination of target proteins by PARK2.,similarity:Contains 4 BAG domains.,subunit:Binds to the ATPase domain of HSP70/HSC chaperones. Binds PARK2.,
