Synonyms:	1,4-beta-poly-N-acetylglucosaminidase, chitinase, chitodextrinase, poly-beta-glucosaminidase
Definition:	Catalysis of the hydrolysis of nonterminal (1->4)-beta linkages of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) polymers of chitin and chitodextrins. Typically, endochitinases cleave randomly within the chitin chain.
