Product details
Chitotriosidase Assay Kit (ab241009) utilizes a fluorogenic substrate that can be hydrolyzed by chitinase and a set of proprietary assay buffers that can distinguish specific CHIT1 activity from other hydrolases including Acidic Mammalian Chitinase. The kit provides a simple, specific, sensitive assay that can detect as low as 0.2 mU/mL of CHIT1 in a variety of biological samples.

Biological function summary
CHIT1 participates in inflammatory processes and helps in tissue remodeling which is important in immune responses. CHIT1 does not typically form part of a complex but operates independently to mediate macrophage response through its chitinase activity. It handles polysaccharide elements in cellular debris impacting macrophage activation states. Macrophages utilize CHIT1 to counteract foreign bodies engulfed during phagocytosis playing essential roles in managing fungal infections.
Pathways
CHIT1 influences both the immune response and metabolic pathways through its enzyme function. One key pathway involving CHIT1 is the mannose receptor-mediated clearance pathway which clears glycoproteins from systemic circulation. CHIT1 activity mirrors that of other chitinases like AMCase although they derive from separate genetic backgrounds. CHIT1 contribution enhances macrophage functionality within phagolysosomal pathways important for broad-spectrum pathogen eradication.
