Target Details for Clusterin

Target: Clusterin (CLU)

Alternative Name: Apolipoprotein J (Apo J)

Background: Clusterin exists in two forms, a pro-apoptotic form localised to the nucleus and a pro-survival secreted form. Both are thought to be involved in DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. The secreted form is thought to inhibit apoptotic signalling by BAX, Clusterin suppression can sensitise cells to chemotherapy. Clusterin is overexpressed in human prostate cancer, breast cancers and squamous cell carcinomas. Part of the SC5b-9 complex, clusterin prevents the binding of a C5b-C7 complex to the membrane of the target cell inhibiting the complement cascade. Clusterin acts as an extracellular chaperone inhibiting the formation of human lysozyme amyloid associated with Alzheimers disease. Clusterin is also important in spermatogenesis and is secreted by Sertoli cells.Synonyms: 40, 40, AAG4, APOJ, Aging-associated gene 4 protein, CLI, Clusterin, Complement cytolysis inhibitor, Complement-associated protein SP-40, KUB1, Ku70-binding protein 1, NA1/NA2, SP-40, Testosterone-repressed prostate message 2
