Chitinases and non-enzymatic chitinase-like proteins (CLPs, can bind chitin but cannot digest) belong to Glycoside hydrolase family 18. Human CHI3L1, YKL-40, is a CLP and a 42 kDa protein with 383 amino acid residues. The complex (CHI3L1, IL-13R alpha2 and IL-13) regulate downstream signal transduction pathway related to inflammation, proliferation and metastasis.
Molecular Weight:
The protein has a calculated MW of 41.43 kDa. The protein migrates as 40 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.
