Clusterin (CLU) is a secreted glycoprotein that plays a central role in cellular stress response and cytoprotection by acting as a molecular chaperone that stabilizes damaged proteins. CLU antibody is widely used to study stress-induced expression of this protein, which is strongly upregulated under conditions such as oxidative stress, inflammation, hypoxia, and apoptosis. This inducible expression pattern makes Clusterin a sensitive marker of cellular stress and survival signaling pathways.
CLU Antibody / Cytoprotective Stress Response Marker, also known as Clusterin antibody, APO-J antibody, or Apolipoprotein J antibody in the literature, enables detection of this protein in pathways associated with stress adaptation and cellular defense. In contrast to its baseline physiological role, CLU expression is markedly increased during cellular stress, where it functions to limit damage and promote recovery. This dynamic regulation distinguishes it from constitutively expressed chaperones and underpins its value as a stress response marker.
Functionally, CLU inhibits protein aggregation and supports clearance of misfolded proteins, thereby reducing proteotoxic stress and preserving cellular integrity. It also interacts with apoptosis-regulating pathways, contributing to suppression of programmed cell death and enhancement of cell survival. In cancer biology, elevated CLU expression has been associated with tumor progression, resistance to chemotherapy, and adaptation to hostile microenvironments. CLU Antibody is therefore particularly useful in studies of tumor biology, treatment resistance, and stress-induced survival mechanisms.
Beyond intracellular effects, secreted CLU influences the extracellular environment by stabilizing proteins and modulating immune responses. Its interactions with complement components and inflammatory mediators contribute to tissue remodeling and immune regulation under stress conditions. This dual intracellular and extracellular activity reinforces its role as a key mediator of stress response at both the cellular and tissue levels.
Subcellularly, CLU is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and processed through the secretory pathway before being released into the extracellular space. During stress conditions, both intracellular accumulation and secretion may increase, resulting in enhanced detection in western blot and immunohistochemistry assays. This often manifests as increased signal intensity and multiple detectable forms due to glycosylation and processing.
This CLU antibody is supported by immunohistochemistry and western blot data demonstrating detection of Clusterin in relevant biological samples, along with protein microarray specificity validation confirming selective binding. Together, these features support its use in studies of stress response, apoptosis regulation, and cytoprotective signaling.
This antibody is part of a broader range of Clusterin antibody products supporting research into chaperone function, stress response, and disease biology.
Optimal dilution of the CLU Antibody / Cytoprotective Stress Response Marker should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 185-287 was used as the immunogen for the CLU antibody.
Aliquot the CLU antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
