Chitotriosidase encoded by the CHIT1 gene is a member of the chitinase family that is selectively expressed in activated tissue macrophages (1). It is distinct from another member, known as acidic mammalian chitinase (AMC) encoded by the CHIA gene and expressed mainly in the gastrointestinal tract and lung (2). Both CHIA and CHIT1 are secreted as 50 kDa proteins. In contrast to CHIA, CHIT1 is not stable under acidic pHs and can be processed into a C-terminally truncated 39 kDa form (2, 3). CHIT1 is the best biomarker in the monitoring of Gaucher disease among the three most commonly used markers that also include acid phosphatase and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) (4). CHIT1 is also a specific marker of macrophage activation in acute ischemic stroke (5).
