Chitinase-3-like protein 1 decodes chitosan acetylation patterns into toll-like receptor 2 signaling through heparan sulfate
2026-06-16
Abstract excerpt
Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), which is associated with a wide range of inflammatory diseases, lacks chitinase activity but retains the ability to bind chitin and chitosan. Chitin is a major component of fungal cell walls, whereas chitosan is used in biomedicine. In addition to chitosan, CHI3L1 has been proposed to interact with heparan sulfate (HS), a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan on mammalian cell surf...
