Chitinases have been isolated from the stomachs of mammals, including humans. [20] Chitinase activity can also be detected in human blood [21] [22] and possibly cartilage. [23] As in plant chitinases this may be related to pathogen resistance. [24] [25]
Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), also known as YKL-40, is a secreted glycoprotein that is approximately 40kDa in size that in humans is encoded by the CHI3L1 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The name YKL-40 is derived from the three N-terminal amino acids present on the secreted form and its molecular mass .
Chitinase domain-containing protein 1 (CHID1) is a highly conserved protein of unknown function located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 11 near the telomere. [5] The protein has 27 introns, which allows for many isoforms of this gene. It has several aliases, the most common of which is Stabilin-1 interacting chitinase-like protein (SI-CLP).
N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30; EC 3.2.1.52) is a mesophilic hydrolase that specifically hydrolyzes N-acetyl-glucosides. The enzyme is found across a wide variety of marine and terrestrial creatures with the primary function of breaking down oligosaccharides in the presence of water.
Hofmann hydrolyzed chitin using a crude preparation of the enzyme chitinase, which he obtained from the snail Helix pomatia. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Chitin is a modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen; it is synthesized from units of N -acetyl- D -glucosamine (to be precise, 2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy- D -glucose).

the first has somehow, in some way, been my best year yet. So, as I often say to participants in the workshop, “If a school teacher from Nebraska can do it, so can you!”
