CLU (Clusterin)

Clusterin (CLU) is a protein found throughout the body that plays a role in protecting cells, managing stress, and clearing away waste. It helps maintain healthy cell functions and can influence processes like cell death, aging, and response to injury. Because of these roles, CLU is involved in various conditions, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular issues. Essentially, it acts like a cellular caretaker, supporting cells during stressful situations and helping to keep the body functioning properly.
