Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1118
Gene name Chitinase 1
Gene symbol CHIT1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CHI3CHITCHITD
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q32.1
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. H
