Product: Anti-Clusterin mAb, clone CLI-9
Cat. No.: MC-495 (100 μg)
Synonyms:
Anti-TRPM-2, anti-Apolipoprotein J, anti-CLI,
anti-SGP-2, anti-CLU, anti-APO-J
Background:
Clusterin is the first identified extracellular
mammalian chaperone and appears to be
implicated in such diverse processes as sperm
maturation, regulation of complement activation,
programmed cell death, tissue remodeling and
lipid transport. Increases in clusterin mRNA and
protein have been consistently detected in
apoptotic cell death paradigms, establishing
clusterin gene expression as a prominent
marker of apoptotic cell loss. A dual role has
been shown for clusterin in that cells can be
protected from damage and dead cells can be
more easily removed after some types of cellular
damage.

HEK 293T cells with MC-495.
Method: Endogenous human clusterin from cell lysates was
resolved by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions,
transferred to nitrocellulose and incubated with a 1:2,000
dilution of MC-495. Proteins were visualized using an HRPconjugated
anti-mouse IgG antibody and a
chemiluminescence detection system.

For in vitro research use only. Not for use in
diagnostics or in humans.
