Supplementary information

YKL-40 also known as chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 40 kDa. Scientists often study it for its roles in inflammatory processes. It has expressions in numerous tissues including liver cartilage and the central nervous system. The CHI3L1 protein does not possess chitinase activity unlike other members of the chitinase family yet it interacts with various ligands to influence cellular behavior.
Biological function summary

YKL-40 plays significant roles in tissue remodeling and inflammation. It does not form part of a larger complex by itself but influences several cellular processes. This protein affects cell proliferation migration and survival making it involved in both normal physiological processes and pathological conditions. CHI3L1 also exhibits a connection to the immune response where it modulates macrophage activity and interacts with other immune cells.

Pathways

YKL-40 is integral to the inflammatory and extracellular matrix pathways. It associates with proteins such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) influencing signaling cascades that modulate inflammation. Through these interactions CHI3L1 becomes a mediator of connective tissue metabolism and immune reactions in various pathophysiological states.

YKL-40 shows strong links to conditions like osteoarthritis and certain cancers. In osteoarthritis elevated levels of CHI3L1 reflect increased cartilage degradation while in oncology it correlates with tumor angiogenesis and metastasis potential. Its connection with proteins such as matrix metalloproteinases highlights its role in disease mechanisms highlighting its potential as a biomarker for early detection and disease progression monitoring.

Target data

Carbohydrate-binding lectin with a preference for chitin. Has no chitinase activity. May play a role in tissue remodeling and in the capacity of cells to respond to and cope with changes in their environment. Plays a role in T-helper cell type 2 (Th2) inflammatory response and IL-13-induced inflammation, regulating allergen sensitization, inflammatory cell apoptosis, dendritic cell accumulation and M2 macrophage differentiation. Facilitates invasion of pathogenic enteric bacteria into colonic mucosa and lymphoid organs. Mediates activation of AKT1 signaling pathway and subsequent IL8 production in colonic epithelial cells. Regulates antibacterial responses in lung by contributing to macrophage bacterial killing, controlling bacterial dissemination and augmenting host tolerance. Also regulates hyperoxia-induced injury, inflammation and epithelial apoptosis in lung.
