The CHI3L1 protein is a binding lectin that lacks chitinase activity. CHI3L1 contributes to tissue remodeling, cellular adaptation to environmental changes, and T helper type 2 inflammatory responses. CHI3L1 also controls hyperoxia-induced injury, inflammation, and epithelial cell apoptosis. CHI3L1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived CHI3L1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Description

The CHI3L1 protein is a binding lectin that lacks chitinase activity. CHI3L1 contributes to tissue remodeling, cellular adaptation to environmental changes, and T helper type 2 inflammatory responses. CHI3L1 also controls hyperoxia-induced injury, inflammation, and epithelial cell apoptosis.

Background

Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is a carbohydrate-binding lectin with a specific affinity for chitin, although it lacks chitinase activity. Its main role extends beyond chitin degradation, as it is implicated in tissue remodeling and cellular responses to environmental changes. CHI3L1 plays a crucial role in T-helper cell type 2 (Th2) inflammatory responses and IL-13-induced inflammation, influencing allergen sensitization, inflammatory cell apoptosis, dendritic cell accumulation, and the differentiation of M2 macrophages. Additionally, it facilitates the invasion of pathogenic enteric bacteria into colonic mucosa and lymphoid organs. CHI3L1 is involved in the activation of the AKT1 signaling pathway, leading to IL8 production in colonic epithelial cells. Furthermore, it regulates antibacterial responses in the lungs, contributing to macrophage bacterial killing, controlling bacterial dissemination, and enhancing host tolerance. In lung tissues, CHI3L1 also plays a role in regulating hyperoxia-induced injury, inflammation, and epithelial apoptosis. Structurally, CHI3L1 functions as a monomer.

Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
