The Clusterin (CLU) gene is mapped to human chromosome 8p21.1. The encoded protein is a chaperone and is conserved along with evolution. It is present in human tissues and fluids.
Immunogen
Clusterin antibody was raised recombinant human Clusterin isoform 1.
Application
Anti-Clusterin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemical (IHC) staining (1:1,000 & 1:100).[1][2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Clusterin (CLU) is a multifunctional plasma protein and a fluid-phase complement inhibitor. It mediates the complement terminal pathway. Clusterin is an ATP-independent small heat shock protein-like chaperone. It functions as a redox sensor and a lipid transporter. Clusterin is associated with many age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and metabolic syndrome. It is involved in cancer progression, promotion, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Increased serum CLU levels are observed in type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is known to suppress proteotoxicity. Clusterin might show anti or proapoptotic activities. This protein is associated with different functions of the brain. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CLU gene might cause the development of late-onset Alzheimer′s disease (LOAD).

Clusterin (CLU) is an evolutionary conserved molecular chaperone present in different human tissues and fluids and established to be a significant cancer regulator. It controls several cancer-associated cellular events, including cancer cell proliferation, stemness, survival, metastasis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, therapy resistance
Clusterin (CLU; also known as apolipoprotein J, ApoJ) is a protein of inconstant structure known to be involved in diverse processes inside and outside of brain cells. CLU can act as a protein chaperon or protein solubilizer, lipid transporter as
Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), the most common cause of dementia, and a huge global health challenge, is a neurodegenerative disease of uncertain aetiology. To deliver effective diagnostics and therapeutics, understanding the molecular basis of the disease is essential. Contemporary large
