Acidic mammalian chitinase has recently been associated ... The assumption of normality of the log-transformed values was verified by means of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, ...

Lee noted that levels of chitinase 3-like-1 have also been shown to increase during normal aging. In fact, they have been reported to be the best predictor of all-cause mortality in people in ...

Now, an intriguing preprint research paper on the bioRxiv server reports the identification of an enzyme called chitinase 3-like-1 (CHI3L1) that mediates this age-dependent impact of the virus and ...

The paper describes a thorough analysis of the three human chitinolytic enzymes: chitotriosidase, acidic mammalian chitinase, and lysozyme. A lot has been published on these enzymes already, but this ...

What makes this chitinase special is the unusual presence of a CBM5 chitin binding domain. Ruben was able to show that this chitinase, which is induced in the endophyte by the presence of the pathogen ...
