Summary
Enables chitin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; regulation of chitin metabolic process; and regulation of tube architecture, open tracheal system. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; mesoderm; and visceral mesoderm derivative. 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).
