Recombinant Human CHIT1 (C-6His)

Description

EnkiLife provides the Recombinant Human CHIT1 (C-6His) protein,aslo know as Chitotriosidase-1,Chitinase-1,CHIT1, which features high purity, high activity, and high stability. It can be applied in scientific research, biopharmaceuticals, and other fields.Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE;Endotoxin Level:<1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test.;Construction:Recombinant Human Chitotriosidase-1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala22-Asn466 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.Accession:AAI03696.1. Expression Host:Human Cells.Species:Human.Predicted Molecular Mass:50.43 KDa. Background:Chitotriosidase-1 (CHIT1) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the Glycosyl Hydrolase 18 family and Chitinase class II subfamily. It is secreted by cultured macrophages and serves to degrade chitin, chitotriose and chitobiose. CHIT1 may participate in the defense against nematodes and other pathogens. It is highly expressed in the plasma of patients with Gauchers disease type I, which can be used as diagnostic aid and to evaluate the success of treatment that brings levels back to normal. The amino acid sequence of human CHIT1 is 99%, 76%, 75% and 55% identical to that of chimpanzee, rat, mouse and fruit fly, respectively.
