    Summary
    Predicted to enable chitin binding activity and chitinase activity. Involved in several processes, including chitin-based cuticle development; ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; and regulation of tube architecture, open tracheal system. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human CHIA (chitinase acidic). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
