Summary
Enables imaginal disc growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; epithelium regeneration; and regulation of stem cell division. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including egg chamber; embryonic/larval brain; embryonic/larval salivary gland; gastrula embryo; and yolk. 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).
