GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	CHIT1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	CHI3, CHIT
Description	Chitinase 1 (chitotriosidase) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	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]
