BAG3-positive monocyte
bag3-positive monocyte
A circulating mononuclear phagocyte characterized by the expression of BCL-2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) protein, a co-chaperone involved in protein quality control and anti-apoptotic processes. (Fontanella, 2009). It undergoes cellular stress during the differentiation into M2 macrophages and is linked to poor survival rates in multiple cancer types. (Park, 2023)
