CA XV Anticuerpo(G-18): sc-54772

---

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are members of a large family of zinc metalloenzymes responsible for catalyzing the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. CAs show extensive diversity in their distribution and subcellular localization. They are involved in a variety of biological processes, including calcification, bone resorption, respiration, acid-base balance and the formation of aqueous humor, saliva, gastric juice and cerebrospinal fluid. CA XV, also referred to as Carbonate dehydratase XV or Car15, is a glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein expressed ubiquitously at low levels. CA XV is predomimantly expressed in kidney, brain and testis. In humans and chimpanzees, it is a non-processed pseudogene. In mouse, CA XV exhibits highest homology with family member CA IV. CA XV contains three glycosylation sites at asparagine residues 189, 201 and 210.
