Preparation and Storage

Background: Carbonic Anhydrase III/CA3

Carbonic Anhydrase is a group of metalloproteases that catalyze the reversible reaction of CO2 + H2O = HCO3- + H+, which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption (1). CA3 is an approximately 29 kDa cytosolic enzyme with a very low CA activity. It is expressed at low levels in human muscle during early development but increases rapidly during the last trimester to reach 50‑60% of adult levels at birth (2). It is present at high levels in skeletal muscle and much lower levels in other tissues, such as cardiac and smooth muscle. The amino acid sequence of human CA3 is 99%, 90% and 92% identical to that of chimpanzee, dog and mouse/rat.
