Chitinase 1 (CHIT1) Antibody, Abbexa, abx015729

CHIT1:chitinase 1 (chitotriosidase).Chitotriosidase is a 50 kDa secreted glycoprotein that belongs to glycohydrolase family # 18.It is secreted by activated human macrophages and is markedly elevated in plasma of Gaucher disease patients.The expression of chitotriosidase occurs only at a late stage of differentiation of monocytes to activated macrophages in culture.Human macrophages can synthesize a functional chitotriosidase, a highly conserved enzyme with a strongly regulated expression.This enzyme may play a role in the degradation of chitin-containing pathogens.
