Crystal structure of human cartilage gp39 (HC-gp39) in complex with chitopentaose
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 12851408
Disease
[CH3L1_HUMAN] A genetic variation in CHI3L1 is associated with susceptibility to asthma-related traits type 7 (ASRT7) [MIM:611960]. Asthma-related traits include clinical symptoms of asthma, such as coughing, wheezing and dyspnea, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) as assessed by methacholine challenge test, serum IgE levels, atopy, and atopic dermatitis.
Function
[CH3L1_HUMAN] Carbohydrate-binding lectin with a preference for chitin. May play a role in defense against pathogens, or in tissue remodeling. May play an important role in the capacity of cells to respond to and cope with changes in their environment.[1]
