short description

The Bioaim Human Clusterin ELISA kit is a solid phase sandwich ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the quantitative measurement of Clusterin in human serum and plasma. An antibody specific for human Clusterin was coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are added to the wells and any Clusterin present binds to the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human Clusterin antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is added to the wells. The wells are again washed and TMB substrate solution is added, which produces a blue color in direct proportion to the amount of Clusterin present in the initial sample. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the microwell absorbances are read at 450 nm.

detection target

Clusterin (Clusterin )
Background: Clusterin is a secreted multifunctional protein that binds a wide range of molecules and may function as a chaperone of misfolded extracellular proteins. CLU is a molecular chaperone responsible for aiding protein folding of secreted proteins. Its three isoforms have been differentially implicated in pro- or antiapoptotic processes. Through this function, CLU is involved in many diseases related to oxidative stress, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, inflammatory diseases, and aging. It also participates in the control of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Clusterin is predominantly expressed in adult testis, ovary, adrenal gland, liver, heart, and brain.
