Preparation and Storage

Background: Carbonic Anhydrase VI

Carbonic Anhydrase catalyzes the reversible reaction of CO₂ + H₂O = HCO₃^- + H⁺, which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption (1). Carbonic Anhydrase VI, also known as gustin and salivary Carbonic Anhydrase, is a zinc-metalloprotein that constitutes about 3% of human parotid saliva protein (2, 3). It was decreased in patients with loss of taste and pathological changes in taste buds (4). It is also an elementary component of milk. It plays an important role in normal growth and development of the infant alimentary tract (5). Mature human CA6 shares 66% and 50% amino acid sequence identity with bovine and mouse CA6, respectively.
