About this dossier

UniProt-reviewed human alpha-carbonic-anhydrase scope record. Ten experimental structure mappings, two direct assay activities, and one reaction assignment retain membrane attachment and construct boundaries. This release links 13 source records to this accession, a selection rather than every record the upstream databases hold.

UniProt function text

Catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and protons and thus is essential to maintaining intracellular and extracellular pH (PubMed:15563508, PubMed:16686544, PubMed:16807956, PubMed:17127057, PubMed:17314045, PubMed:17652713, PubMed:17705204, PubMed:18618712, PubMed:19186056, PubMed:19206230, PubMed:7625839). May stimulate the sodium/bicarbonate transporter activity of SLC4A4 that acts in pH homeostasis (PubMed:15563508). It is essential for acid overload removal from the retina and retina epithelium, and acid release in the choriocapillaris in the choroid (PubMed:15563508)
