Background

Chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) also known as YKL-40, is a .secreted glycoprotein that is approximately 40kDa in size that in humans is encoded by the CHI3L1 gene. Elevated levels of CHI3L1 are associated with disorders exhibiting increased connective tissue turnover, such as rheumatoid, arthritis, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, and cirrhosis of liver, but is produced in cartilage from old donors or patients with osteoarthritis.CHI3L1 is abnormally expressed in the hippocampus of subjects with schizophrenia and may be involved in the cellular response to various environmental events that are reported to increase the risk of schizophrenia.
