Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a hexamer of N-acetylglucosamine, a subunit of the natural polymer chitin. It functions as an elicitor in plants, inducing the expression of chitinases.{29662,29661} Like chitin and some of its derivatives, hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose is a substrate of lysozyme.{29665} It also binds LysM domains on certain proteins, including an endopeptidase of T. thermophilus.{29667} Hexa-N-acetylchitohexaose heightens the immune response against Pseudomonas and Listeria in mice, stimulates cytokine secretion in mesenchymal stem cells, and inhibits nitric oxide production by activated macrophages.{29666,29664,29663,26338}
