Gene name

CHIA (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

AMCase, CHIT2, TSA1902

Description

Chitinase, acidic (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene degrades chitin, which is found in the cell wall of most fungi as well as in arthropods and some nematodes. The encoded protein can also stimulate interleukin 13 expression, and variations in this gene can lead to asthma susceptibility. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
