This gene lies in close proximity to thymidylate synthase gene on chromosome 18

Prenylation was initially believed to be important only for membrane attachment

It is involved in redox regulation of the cell

RRP8 binds to H3K9me2 and probably acts as a methyltransferase

Porcine Chitinase-3-like Protein 1, CHI3L1 ELISA Kit, 96T Hepatocytes PubMed: 18986166Carbohydrate binding lectin with a preference for chitin. Has no chitinase activity. May play a role in tissue remodeling and in the capacity of cells to respond to and cope with changes in their environment. Plays a role in T helper cell type 2 (Th2) inflammatory response and IL 13 induced inflammation, regulating allergen sensitization, inflammatory cell apoptosis, dendritic cell accumulation and M2 macrophage differentiation. Facilitates invasion
