REA, or repressor of estrogen receptor activity, (also known as BAP37, or B-cell receptor-associated protein) is a 37 kD erythrocyte band 7 integral membrane protein that contains an SPFH domain. It is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane that selectively potentiates the inhibitory effectiveness of antiestrogen-occupied ER. REA plays a possible role in cell aging and acts as a mitochondrial protein chaperone. This protein has been shown to interact with the estrogen receptor, prohibitin, and IgM.
