| Known Activities | Binding to chitin has been shown in several cases and binding to chitosan described in a single case. Oxidation of chitin has been demonstrated. |

| Note | Although they were initially described as chitin-binding proteins, Vaaje-Kolstad and collaborators have recently shown that these proteins are in fact oxidative enzymes boosting the enzymatic breakdown of chitin [PMID - 20929773] |
