Most malignant tissues dispalyed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. A few cases of breast cancers were strongly staining while several malignant lymphomas, gliomas, carcinoids and gastric cancers were negative.
Most cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Lymphoid were negative.

Entrez gene summary
BAG 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 protein encoded by this gene contains a WW domain in the N-terminal region and a BAG domain in the C-terminal region. 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, Jul 2008]
