Also known as: CHIT2; AMCASE; TSA1902
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]

we showed that M at the position 61 is highly conserved in the many mammals other than orangutan and humans. In addition, introduction of M61R and M61I to WT mouse AMCase lead to a significant reduction of its chitinolytic activity. Taken together, our present and previous data by Seibold et al.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
