Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes clusterin in human samples and is validated for ELISA, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 52.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 82 kDa.
Clusterin (CLU, also called apolipoprotein J) is a secreted glycoprotein that works as an extracellular chaperone, binding misfolded proteins and preventing their aggregation, including amyloid-forming proteins. It is abundant in plasma and many body fluids, and it is widely studied in protein homeostasis, lipid transport, neurodegeneration and cell survival.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): SKOV cells, U87 cells, PANC cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human testis tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Recombinant human Apolipoprotein J fragment (Ser228–Glu449), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in blood plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, milk, seminal plasma and colon mucosa. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
