Background Studies have demonstrated that carbonic anhydrase I (CA1) stimulates calcium
salt precipitation and cell calcification, which is an essential step in new bone formation. Our …

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is involved in various physiological processes such as acid-base
balance and transport of carbon dioxide and ions. In this study, we have succeeded in the …

The renal carbonic anhydrases, CA II (cytosolic) and CA IV (membrane bound), are believed
to facilitate renal acid secretion. We have recently shown that renal cortical sodium dodecyl …

The carbonic anhydrases (CA) are a class of metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible
hydration of carbon dioxide. The genes for the carbonic anhydrase isozymes are members …

▪ Abstract The primary or hereditary form of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), although
rare, has received increased attention recently because of dramatic advances in the …

Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is a hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis characterized by a
normal anion gap and normal (or near normal) glomerular filtration rate in the absence of …

Carbonic anhydrase (CA, general abbreviation for human carbonic anhydrase II) is a well-
studied, zinc-dependent metalloenzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of carbon dioxide to the …

In the nervous system carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are located in diverse populations of cells,
where they serve an impressive variety of functions. Until quite recently CA II was …

The carbonic anhydrase (CA) protein family consists of twelve active isozymes in humans
and thirteen in most other mammals. The most recently discovered members of this family …

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) II is the major CA isozyme in the brain, where it participates in acid‐
base homeostasis, fluid transport, and myelin synthesis. The CA II deficiency [CA (II) D] …
