Abstract
Chitin is the most generous biopolymer on earth, chitinase and chitinase like enzymes can unlock the possibility of next generation biomedicine and commercial product formulation. It is a key component of insects, fungi, and house-dust mites. Unexpectedly, humans were also found to express chitinases as well as chitinase-like proteins that participate in immune sally. Here, we summarize and discuss the potential role of chitin, chitinases, and chitinase-like proteins in terms of biological, medical and commercial importance. Chitinase identification and quantification method will strengthen their emerging application at global level with high commercial importance .
