Clusterin fulfills a number of functions:

cell death – low-density lipoprotein receptor binding – protein binding – misfolded protein binding

Clusterin is relevant to the following processes:

extracellular region – cell death – ovarian follicle atresia – ovarian follicle development – anti-apoptosis – complement activation, classical pathway – endocrine pancreas development – innate immune response – lipid metabolic process – negative regulation of protein homooligomerization – neuron projection morphogenesis – positive regulation of cell differentiation – positive regulation of cell proliferation – release of cytochrome c from mitochondria – response to oxidative stress – reverse cholesterol transport – apoptosis – multicellular organismal development – negative regulation of apoptosis – response to misfolded protein – response to stress – response to virus – response to wounding – spermatogenesis

Locations for Clusterin:

nucleus – aggresome – extracellular region – extracellular space – mitochondrion – perinuclear region of cytoplasm – platelet alpha granule lumen – spherical high-density lipoprotein particle – extracellular matrix – chromaffin granule – cytoplasmic vesicle
