Background Information
BAG3 (Bcl2-associated athanogene 3) belongs to the BAG protein family, the co-chaperone that binds to Hsc70/Hsp70 through the BAG domain and modulates their activity in polypeptide folding. BAG3 contains also a WW domain and a proline-rich (PXXP) repeat, that mediate binding to partners different from Hsp70. Through interacting with different molecular partner, BAG3 influences several cell processes, such as apoptosis, autophagy and cell motility. BAG3 protein has been reported to sustain cell survival, resistance to therapy, and/or motility and metastatization in several tumor types, thus being identified as a potential target for anticancer therapies. In addition, defects in BAG3 are the cause of some myopathy. BAG3 normally migrates around 74-80 kDa; a slightly different molecular weight or a doublet form can be observed in some cell types and/or following cell exposure to stressors. A synaptosome associated form of 40 kDa has recently been described.

Reviews
What customers say
Customers consistently rate this BAG3 antibody highly, praising its strong, specific signal with minimal non-specific bands. Western blot performance is the most common highlight, with clear single bands reported in mouse heart, cardiomyocytes, and human tissues at dilutions ranging from 1:500 to 1:3000. Several users confirmed specificity through knockout tissue validation. Immunofluorescence results were also described as good, including confocal imaging in human microglia. The antibody has been successfully applied to autophagy studies and works across multiple species and tissue types. Overall, reviewers consider it one of the best BAG3 antibodies available for western blotting.
