Description

Human CHIT1 ELISA Kit

Chitotriosidase is a cytosolic ester hydrolase enzyme that is produced by activated human macrophages and is substantially higher in Gaucher disease patients' plasma. In culture, chitotriosidase activity is only detected late in the process of monocyte differentiation to activated macrophages. A functional chitotriosidase may be produced by human macrophages, a highly conserved protein with a highly regulated expression. CHIT1 may be involved in the breakdown of chitin-containing pathogens. Several variant transcripts of CHIT1 have been reported. Chitotriosidase Deficiency and Gaucher's Disease are two examples of diseases influenced by CHIT1. Glycosaminoglycan metabolism and the innate immune system are pathways connected to CHIT1.
