  2. Carbonic anhydrase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase

    Relating the Bohr effect to carbonic anhydrase is simple: carbonic anhydrase speeds up the reaction of carbon dioxide reacting with water to produce hydrogen ions (protons) and bicarbonate ions. To describe equilibrium in the carbonic anhydrase reaction, Le Chatelier's principle is used. Most tissue is more acidic than lung tissue because ...

  3. Carbonic anhydrase 4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase_4

    Other forms of carbonic anhydrase enzyme are not present in the plasma, restricting the equilibrium reaction of CO 2 + H 2 O = H 2 CO 3 = H+ HCO − 3. CO 2 in the plasma diffuses into the Red Blood Cell. CA is present within the Red Blood Cell, facilitating the conversion of CO 2 to HCO − 3. HCO − 3 so produced is transferred by the HCO −

  4. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase_inhibitor

    Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are a class of pharmaceuticals that suppress the activity of carbonic anhydrase. Their clinical use has been established as anti- glaucoma agents, diuretics , antiepileptics , in the management of mountain sickness , gastric and duodenal ulcers , idiopathic intracranial hypertension , neurological disorders , or ...

  5. CA1 (gene) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CA1_(gene)

    The reaction catalyzed by CA1 is the same as other carbonic anhydrase family proteins: + (in tissues - high CO 2 concentration) [9]. The CA1-catalyzed reaction has a relatively low reaction affinity (Km) of 4.0 mM for CO 2, [7] [10] turnover number (Kcat) of 2 × 10 5 s −1, and catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) of 5 × 10 7 M −1 s −1 comparing to other isozymes of the α-CA family of ...

  6. Carbonic anhydrase 12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase_12

    Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in various biological processes, including respiration, calcification , acid-base balance, bone resorption , and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid , saliva, and gastric acid.

  8. Carbonic anhydrase II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_anhydrase_II

    Carbonic anhydrase II (gene name CA2) is one of sixteen forms of human α carbonic anhydrases. [5] Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Defects in this enzyme are associated with osteopetrosis and renal tubular acidosis. Renal carbonic anhydrase allows the reabsorption of bicarbonate ions in the proximal tubule.
