Summary
Clusterin, also known as apolipoprotein J, is a widely expressed heterodimeric glycoprotein, important in tumorigenesis, apoptosis and immunoregulation. Clusterin is a cellular chaperon that stabilizes stressed proteins in a folding-competent state and protein has also been implicated in programmed cell death. Another defining prominent of clusterin is its induction in many severe physiological disturbance states including kidney degenerative diseases, prostate and vesicle carcinogenesis, ovarian cancer, and several neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s disease).
Recent findings demonstrate that high serum clusterin levels are connected to oxidation stress, vascular damage, sepsis and related mortality or significantly lower serum clusterin was observed in dogs with multicentric lymphoma (MLSA).
Urinary clusterin has been approved as a biomarker to monitor drug-induced proximal tubular injury in rats by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. Furthermore, urinary clusterin may also help to differentiate between tubular and glomerular forms of proteinuria.
