Related Product Information for anti-CHIT1 antibody
Chitinases are ubiquitous chitin-fragmenting hydrolases. The chitinase Chitotriosidase is capable of cleaving natural chitin and chitin-like substrates in humans and may play a role in immunity against pathogens containing chitin. Activated human macrophages secrete chitotriosidase, and increased plasma levels of chitotriosidase are a feature of patients suffering from Gaucher disease. Expression of mouse Chitotriosidase is restricted to brain, skin, bone marrow, kidney, tongue, stomach and testis. The homology between chitotriosidase and chitinases found in lower organisms is significant. Acidic mammalian chitinase precursor (AMCase) degrades chitotriose and chitin. AMCase is highly expressed in stomach tissues and is primarily a secreted protein. It is involved in Th2-mediated inflammation and may play a role in asthma and allergic diseases.

NCBI 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 this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Product Notes

The CHIT1 chit1 (Catalog #AAA3011256) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The CHIT1 Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's CHIT1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). WB: 1:500-1:2000 IHC: 1:50-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CHIT1 chit1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CHIT1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
