Recently updated role of Chitinase 3-like 1 on various cell types as a major infuencer of chronic inflammation

2024-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Chitinase 3-like 1 (also known as CHI3L1 or YKL-40)is a mammalian chitinase that has no enzymatic activity, but has the ability to bind to chitin, the polymer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). Chitin is a component of fungi, crustaceans, arthropods including insects and mites, and parasites, but is completely absent from mammals, including humans and mice. In general, chitin-containing organisms produce CHI3L1 to p...
