**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CLU wild-type allele is located within 8p21-p12 and is approximately 36 kb in length. This allele, which encodes clusterin protein, may play a role in the modulation of complement activation, lipid metabolism and apoptosis. Genetic variation may play a role in Alzheimer's disease.
