CA1 (Carbonic Anhydrase 1, Carbonic Anhydrase I, CA-I, Carbonate Dehydratase I, Carbonic Anhydrase B, CAB) (PE)

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA1 is closely linked to CA2 and CA3 genes on chromosome 8, and it is a cytosolic protein which is found at the highest level in erythrocytes. Applications: Suitable for...
