CHI3L2 - chitinase 3 like 2 Gene
Also Known as CHIL2; YKL39; YKL-39
Species: Homo sapiens
About CHI3L2
This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants), 99 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Biased expression in appendix (RPKM 55.9), salivary gland (RPKM 27.1) and 11 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to Bacterial chitinases but lacks chitinase activity. The encoded protein is secreted and is involved in cartilage biogenesis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
