Description
Product Characteristics:
Carbonic anhydrases are a large family of zincmetalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbondioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes,including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, boneresorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinalfluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity intissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. Thecytosolic protein encoded by this gene is predominantly expressedin the salivary glands. Alternative splicing in the coding regionresults in multiple transcript variants encoding differentisoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

Target Information: Carbonic anhydrases 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. The cytosolic protein encoded by this gene is predominantly expressed in the salivary glands. Alternative splicing in the coding region results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
