Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncht-1 encodes a chitinase orthologous to human chitinase-1 (OMIM:600031, mutations are associated with chitotriosidase deficiency); CHT-1 is predicted to function as an extracellular O-glycosyl hydrolase that hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates; in C. elegans, CHT-1 may play a role in embryogenesis, and may also be required for cuticle degradation during molting and degradation of chitin-containing pathogens as part of a host defense mechanism.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004651

Automated_descriptionEnables chitinase activity. Involved in chitin catabolic process and response to fungus. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CHIA (chitinase acidic).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
