    Summary
    Enables imaginal disc growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chitin-based cuticle development; ecdysis, chitin-based cuticle; and wound healing. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior ectoderm; circulatory system; embryonic epidermis; female reproductive system; and gastrula embryo. 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).
