UniProtKB description: Hydrolyzes the N-acetamido groups of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymers in chitin to form chitosan and acetate (PubMed:15555935, PubMed:16232493, PubMed:16878976, PubMed:7592838, PubMed:8987657, PubMed:9373940). May play a role in evasion of the host immune response; plant chitinases liberate chitin molecules from the fungal cell wall which act as elicitors of the plant immune response, deacetylation of the liberated chitin neutralizes elicitor activity (PubMed:10913295, PubMed:8987657).
