ANTI-CLUSTERIN ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT

General description

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).

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).
