DESCRIPTION

Also known as BAG1_HUMAN, BAG1, HAP. Co-chaperone for HSP70 and HSC70 chaperone proteins. Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP from the HSP70 and HSC70 proteins thereby triggering client/substrate protein release. Nucleotide release is mediated via its binding to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 where as the substrate release is mediated via its binding to the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of HSPA8/HSC70 (PubMed:27474739, PubMed:9873016, PubMed:24318877). Inhibits the pro-apoptotic function of PPP1R15A, and has anti-apoptotic activity (PubMed:12724406). Markedly increases the anti-cell death function of BCL2 induced by various stimuli (PubMed:9305631). Homodimer. Forms a heteromeric complex with HSP70/HSC70 (PubMed:9305631). Binds to the ATPase domain of HSP/HSC70 chaperones. Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 but not isoform 2 interact with HSPA8/HSC70 (PubMed:27474739, PubMed:24318877, PubMed:9305631, PubMed:9679980). Interacts with NR3C1 (PubMed:10477749). Interacts with the N-terminal region of STK19 (PubMed:15986447). Interacts with PPP1R15A (PubMed:12724406). Interacts with BCL2 in an ATP-dependent manner. Isoform 2 does not interact with BCL2 (PubMed:9305631). Interacts with SIAH1 (PubMed:9582267). Interacts with HSPA8 (via NBD) (PubMed:27474739, PubMed:24318877). Interacts with HSPA1A (via NBD) and HSPA1B (via NBD) (PubMed:24318877). Interacts with SIAH2 (By similarity).
