Summary | This gene encodes a protein that is similar to the human clusterin protein, a secreted chaperone that can also be found in the cell cytosol under certain stress conditions. The human protein has been suggested to be involved in several basic biological events such as cell death, tumor progression, and neurodegenerative disorders. [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]. |
