Protein
Inactive chitinase-like protein 2
Organism
Hevea brasiliensis
Function
Inactive chitinase-like protein that does not exhibit hydrolytic activity toward chitin (PubMed:25104038). Binds strongly to chitin and possesses antifungal activity toward the fungal pathogen Altenaria alternata in plate assays (PubMed:25104038). Probably involved in defense against fungal pathogens through a mechanism that only involves carbohydrate binding (PubMed:25104038).
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 19 family. Chitinase class I subfamily.
