Characterization of FIBCD1 as an Acetyl Group-Binding Receptor That Binds Chitin [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2009 Abstract Chitin is a highly acetylated compound and the second most abundant biopolymer in the world next to cellulose. Vertebrates are exposed to chitin both through food ingestion and when infected with parasites, and fungi and chitin modulate the immune response in different directions.

Chitin receptor
The Plant Journal, 2017 SummaryIn nature, plants need to respond to multiple environmental stresses that require the involvement and fine‐tuning of different stress signaling pathways. Cross‐tolerance, in which plants pre‐treated with chitin (a fungal microbe‐associated molecular pattern) have improved salt tolerance, was observed in Arabidopsis, but is not well understood ...

Modulation of the fungal mycobiome is regulated by the chitin-binding receptor FIBCD1 [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2019 Host–microbiota interactions are critical in regulating mammalian health and disease. In addition to bacteria, parasites, and viruses, beneficial communities of fungi (the mycobiome) are important modulators of immune- and tissue-homeostasis. Chitin is a major component of the fungal cell wall, and fibrinogen C containing domain 1 (FIBCD1) is a chitin ...

The role of FIBCD1 in response to Aspergillus fumigatus in lung epithelial cells.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Chitin, a polysaccharide, is ubiquitously found in nature and has been known to be an active immunogen in mammals, and interacts with Toll-like, mannose and glucan receptors, to induce cytokine and chemokine secretions.
