Alternative Names
Chitinase-like protein 3; Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase Ym1; Chitinase-3-like protein 3; ECF-L; Eosinophil chemotactic cytokine; Secreted protein Ym1; Chil3; Chi3l3; Ym1
Immunogen
Expression system for standard: NS0; Immunogen sequence: Y22-Y398
Lectin that binds saccharides with a free amino group, such as glucosamine or galactosamine. Binding to oligomeric saccharides is much stronger than binding to mono- or disaccharides. Also binds chitin and heparin. Has weak hexosaminidase activity but no chitinase activity. Has chemotactic activity for T-lymphocytes, bone marrow cells and eosinophils. May play a role in inflammation and allergy.
Background
Chitinase 3-like 3, also known as ECF-L and Ym1, is a secreted 377 amino acid lectin that binds heparin and GlcN oligomers. This gene is mapped to 3 F2.2; 3 46.49 Cm. CHI3L3 is produced primarily by macrophages during inflammation. ECF-L shares homology with chitinase family proteins, but lacks enzymatic activity.
