Background

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) 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). Topics in a CA meeting (6^th International Conference on the CAs, June 20‑25, 2003, Slovakia) ranged from use of CAs as markers for tumor and hypoxia in clinic, as nutritional supplement in milk, and as a tool for CO₂ removal and mosquito control in industry. The deduced amino acid sequence of mouse CA4 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1‑17), an ectodomain (residues 18‑277) and a pro peptide (residues 278‑305), which is removed in the mature form (2). The native enzyme is attached to the membrane by a GPI‑anchor. Recombinant mouse CA4 corresponds to the ectodomain and exhibits the activity as described in Activity Assay Protocol.
