    Summary
    Enables chitinase activity. Involved in chitin catabolic process; ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; and regulation of tube size, open tracheal system. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including CHIT1 (chitinase 1); CHI3L1 (chitinase 3 like 1); and CHI3L2 (chitinase 3 like 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
