“…49–55 Furthermore, BAG1L and BAG1M overexpression have shown strong antiapoptotic and cell mitotic effects in cancerous cells, by activating BCL2 and RAF1. 56 It has been reported that BAG1 clients compete with each other to sequester BAG1 proteins. 48,49 Because BAG1 protein levels are much lower than its clients, a small change in BAG1 isoform expression, or that of HSP70, RAF1, and BCL2, could alter the interaction of BAG1 with GRα, RAF1, BCL2, or HSP70 and, subsequently, alter vascular homeostasis.…”
