Chitinases are enzymes that catalyze the degradation of chitin. They have been detected in many organisms, including bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates. Chitinases are broadly classified as endo- and exochitinases. The combination of endo- and exochitinases results in a synergistic increase in the chitinolytic activity. Chitinases are widely used in research and industrial applications. For example, DIS-1010 can be used in food industry for extraction of chitosan or digestion of seafood shells; NATE-0124 has been used in a study to investigate the differential release of high mannose structural isoforms by fungal and bacterial endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. Furthermore, NATE-0124 has also been used in a study to investigate a hevein-like protein and a class I chitinase with antifungal activity from leaves of the paper mulberry.
