Comments

FUNCTION: Defense against chitin containing fungal pathogens.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Random hydrolysis of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide (1->4)-beta-linkages in chitin and chitodextrins.
MISCELLANEOUS: Maize chitinase B seems to be less active than chitinase A.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 19 family. Chitinase class I subfamily [view classification].
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 chitin-binding type-1 domain.
