CLU antibody targets Clusterin, a secreted and intracellular glycoprotein encoded by the CLU gene that is involved in protein quality control, lipid transport, and cellular stress responses. Clusterin is also widely known as apolipoprotein J and functions as a molecular chaperone that binds misfolded or aggregated proteins, facilitating their clearance and protecting cells from stress-induced damage. CLU is expressed in a broad range of tissues, including brain, kidney, liver, reproductive organs, and epithelial tissues, and can localize to the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell surface, or extracellular space depending on cellular context. CLU antibody is frequently used in research examining protein homeostasis, cellular stress pathways, and tissue injury responses.
Clusterin exists in multiple isoforms generated through alternative splicing and post-translational processing, resulting in both secreted and intracellular forms with distinct biological roles. The secreted form is associated with lipid transport and extracellular chaperone activity, while intracellular Clusterin has been implicated in apoptosis regulation, DNA damage responses, and cell survival signaling. In the nervous system, CLU expression has been linked to synaptic maintenance and neuroprotection, whereas in epithelial and glandular tissues it is often associated with differentiation and secretory activity. Clone CLU/4737 is designed to recognize Clusterin for research use in studies exploring CLU expression and subcellular distribution across diverse biological systems.
Altered Clusterin expression has been reported in a variety of pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and cancer. In oncology research, CLU has been investigated for its association with tumor progression, therapy resistance, and cellular adaptation to stress. Changes in CLU expression have also been linked to tissue remodeling and injury responses in organs such as the kidney and brain. Because of its multifunctional roles in protein handling and cell survival, Clusterin remains an important research target in studies of disease mechanisms and stress-associated cellular processes. Clone CLU/4737 provides a tool for examining Clusterin expression and distribution in experimental systems relevant to tissue homeostasis and disease-associated stress responses.
Optimal dilution of the CLU/Clusterin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment (around amino acids 150-300) of human CLU protein (exact sequence is proprietary) was used as the immunogen for the CLU/Clusterin antibody.
CLU/Clusterin antibody with sodium azide - store at 2 to 8oC; antibody without sodium azide - store at -20 to -80oC.
