Transcriptional Regulation of CHI3L1, a Marker Gene for Late Stages of Macrophage Differentiation
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The protein product of the CHI3L1 gene, human cartilage 39-kDa glycoprotein (HC-gp39), is a tissue-restricted, chitin-binding lectin and member of glycosyl hydrolase family 18. In contrast to many other monocyte/macrophage markers, its expression is absent in monocytes and strongly induced during late stages of human macrophage differentiation. To gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying its cell...
