In humans, CHI3L1 encodes Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) that a glycoprotein member of the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family. It is a secreted glycoprotein and catalyzes the hydrolysis of chitin glycopolymer found in insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls. The protein lacks chitinase activity and is secreted by activated macrophages, chondrocytes, neutrophils and synovial cells. It may play a role in tissue remodeling and in the process of inflammation in respond to the changes in their environment.
