Chitotriosidase
Active
Description
Chitotriosidase is secreted by activated human macrophages and is markedly elevated in plasma of Gaucher disease patients. The expression of chitotriosidase occurs only at a late stage of differentiation of monocytes to activated macrophages in culture. Human macrophages can synthesize a functional chitotriosidase, a highly conserved enzyme with a strongly regulated expression. This enzyme may play a role in the degradation of chitin-containing pathogens. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for the CHIT1 gene, which encodes this enzyme.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012][HGNC Gene ID: 1118] Source: NCBI Reference Sequence
