Chitinase involved in the remodeling of chitin in the fungal cell wall. Plays a role in cell separation. Random endo-hydrolysis of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide (1->4)-beta-linkages in chitin and chitodextrins. Transcription is greater during growth of the yeast form as compared to the mycelial form and up-regulated by micafungin treatment. Leads to increased hyphal growth on solid media. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family. Chitinase class V subfamily.
