Scientists find clusterin expressed widely in the human body including the brain kidney and reproductive organs. This protein exists in two isoforms a secreted form and a nuclear form each with different locations and functions within the cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nClusterin plays multiple roles particularly in lipid transport apoptosis and cell-cell interactions. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but it acts as a molecular chaperone that helps in folding and clearance of damaged proteins. This capability allows clusterin to protect cells against stress conditions such as oxidative stress by preventing abnormal protein aggregation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nClusterin is involved in pathways related to cell survival and lipid metabolism. It plays a role in the insulin signaling pathway and interacts with proteins like Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) to assist in protein folding and in the activation of apoptotic pathways when needed. Clusterin's function in these processes helps in maintaining cellular homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nScientists associate clusterin with Alzheimer’s disease and cancer progression. Elevated levels of clusterin have been observed in Alzheimer's patients suggesting a role in amyloid-beta plaque formation. In cancer clusterin expression influences tumor progression and resistance to therapies. Its interaction with other proteins such as Bax modulates the apoptotic pathways impacting cancer cell survival and chemotherapy resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850086207657,"sku":"ab79280","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab79280","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
