Bcl2-associated athanogene 2 (BAG2) shares a similar molecular structure and
function with other BAG family members. Functioning as a co-chaperone, it
interacts with the ATPase domain of the heat shock protein 70 (dHsp70) through
its BAG domain. It also interacts with many other molecules and regulates various
cellular functions. An increasing number of studies have indicated that BAG2 is
involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancers and
neurodegenerative diseases. This paper is a comprehensive review of the
structure, functions, and protein interactions of BAG2. We also discuss its roles
in diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and
spinocerebellar ataxia type-3. Further research on BAG2 could lead to an
understanding of the pathogenesis of these disorders or even to novel therapeutic
approaches.
