Recombinant Human CHIT1 protein (NP_001243054.2) is produced in Sia-Adjusted Human Cell Lines. This expression system is used for the production of glycoproteins and antibodies with different sialylation degree.
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 this gene.
