The following chitinase 3 like 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of chitinase 3 like 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the CHI3L2 gene. This protein is a reported lectin that binds chitooligosaccharides and other glycans with high affinity, but not heparin. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 390 residues, a mass of 43.5 kDa, and is a member of the Glycosyl hydrolase 18 protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported be highly expressed in chondrocytes, followed by synoviocytes, lung and heart. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as YKL-39, YKL39, chitinase-3-like protein 2, chondrocyte protein 39, and CHIL2.
There are chitinase 3 like 2 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 14.5 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
