CHIT1/Chitotriosidase-1, Human (HEK293, His)

CHIT1/Chitotriosidase-1 protein, an enzyme degrading chitin, chitotriose, and chitobiose, potentially defends against nematodes and pathogens. Isoform 3 lacks enzymatic activity, highlighting the complexity of CHIT1 variants. The ability of CHIT1 to break down chitin suggests involvement in immune defense mechanisms. The existence of enzymatically inactive isoform 3 hints at diverse functions or regulatory roles within biological processes. CHIT1/Chitotriosidase-1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived CHIT1/Chitotriosidase-1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.
