Description
Recombinant Human Chitotriosidase-1 (CHIT1) Fragment (aa 22-466) is a high-purity protein designed for studying chitinase activity and pathogen defense mechanisms. This fragment fully encompasses the GH18 catalytic and chitin-binding type-2 domains, making it an ideal tool for functional assays and biochemical research.
Chitotriosidase-1 (EC 3.2.1.14) is a human chitinase that degrades chitin, chitotriose, and chitobiose, playing a key role in defense against nematodes and other pathogens. The protein is primarily secreted, with a minor lysosomal localization, indicating its involvement in extracellular immune responses while maintaining some intracellular storage. Research links its activity to protective mechanisms against chitin-containing pathogens, highlighting its relevance in immunology and infectious disease studies.
