Chitinases and chitinase-like proteins in asthma
Seminars in Immunology, 2023 Despite the lack of endogenous chitin synthesis, mammalian genomes encode two enzymatically active true chitinases (chitotriosidase and acidic mammalian chitinase) and a variable number of chitinase-like proteins (CLPs) that have no enzyme activity but bind chitin.

Detection, characterization and evolution of internal repeats in Chitinases of known 3-D structure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Chitinase proteins have evolved and diversified almost in all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. During evolution, internal repeats may appear in amino acid sequences of proteins which alter the structural and functional features.

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1979 1. A glycol-chitin-splitting enzyme without lysozyme (muramidase) activity has been found in calf serum. The enzyme also degrades colloidal chitin and is thus a true chitinase, 1,4-beta-poly-N-acetylglucosaminidase, without exo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase effect. 2.

Chitinases and chitinase-like proteins as biomarkers in neurologic disorders [PDF]
Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, 2021 Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes widely distributed in nature. Despite their physiologic and pathophysiologic roles are not well understood, chitinases are emerging as biomarkers in a broad range of neurologic disorders, where in many cases, protein levels measured in the CSF have been shown to correlate with disease activity and progression.
