Non-enzymatic chitinase-3 like-protein-1 (CHI3L1) binds to chitin, heparin, and hyaluronic acid, and is regulated by ECM changes, cytokines, growth factors, drugs, and stress. This review summarizes the potential roles and mechanisms of CHI3L1 in oncogenesis and disease pathogenesis, then posits investigational strategies for targeted therapies.
