Mouse Chitinase 1 (CHIT1) ELISA Kit

Chitinase 1, also known as chitotriosidase, is a glycohydrolase secreted by activated macrophages that hydrolyzes chitin and contributes to innate immunity. It is widely used as a biomarker in lysosomal storage disorders including Gaucher disease and has been investigated in pulmonary inflammation, infectious disease, atherosclerosis, and metabolic dysfunction. The Assay Genie in vitro ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of mouse CHIT1 across multiple specimen types and is suited to studies of macrophage polarization, host defense, and inflammatory pathways. The microplate-based workflow uses a standard laboratory plate reader, providing a practical tool for laboratories exploring chitinase biology in murine models. Intended for research use only applications.
