Recombinant Human CHI3L1 Protein, His Tag

Molecular Characterization: CHI3L1 (Thr22-Thr383) 6Ã-His tagMolecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 41.3 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of CHI3L1-His is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant human CHI3L1 protein with C-terminal6Ã-His tagChitinases catalyze the hydrolysis of chitin, which is an abundant glycopolymer found in insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls. The glycoside hydrolase 18 family of chitinases includes eight human family members. This gene encodes a glycoprotein member of the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family. The protein lacks chitinase activity and is secreted by activated macrophages, chondrocytes, neutrophils and synovial cells. The protein is thought to play a role in the process of inflammation and tissue remodeling.
