A 20-Year Longitudinal Study of Plasma Chitotriosidase Activity in Treated Gaucher Disease Type 1 and 3 Patients—A Qualitative and Quantitative Approach

A 20-Year Longitudinal Study of Plasma Chitotriosidase Activity in Treated Gaucher Disease Type 1 and 3 Patients—A Qualitative and Quantitative Approach

Chitotriosidase is an enzyme produced and secreted in large amounts by activated macrophages, especially macrophages loaded with phagocytozed glycosphingolipid in Gaucher disease. Macrophages phagocytose decayed blood cells that contain a lot of sphingolipid-rich cell membranes. In Gaucher disease,...
