Chitotriosidase/CHIT1 ELISA Kits

Chitotriosidase, encoded by the CHIT1 gene, is a member of the chitinase family of endo-beta-1,4-linked N-acetylglucosaminases that cleave chitin, a structural component of cell walls and coatings of many organisms. Chitotriosidase is selectively expressed by activated tissue macrophages. Very high plasma levels of Chitotriosidase are found in pati...
