Description
Product Characteristics:
Carbonic anhydrase X belongs to the carbonic anhydrase family of zinc metalloenzymes, which catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide in various biological processes. This protein is an acatalytic member of the alpha-carbonic anhydrase subgroup, and it is thought to play a role in the central nervous system, especially in brain development.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane, Extracellular matrix
Synonyms: CA 10, CA10, Carbonic anhydrase related protein, CARPX, Cerebral protein 15, HUCEP15, HUCEP-15, HUCEP 15, CAH10_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the carbonic anhydrase family of zinc metalloenzymes, which catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide in various biological processes. The protein encoded by this gene is an acatalytic member of the alpha-carbonic anhydrase subgroup, and it is thought to play a role in the central nervous system, especially in brain development. Multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
