EC 4.2.1.1. • Mr ca. 29 000 • CAS [9001-03-0]
Carbonic anhydrase preparation, which is homogeneous in SDS-PAGE. The enzyme preparation can therefore be used as a marker in protein gel electrophoresis and as a bioreagent in gel filtration chromatography, protein chromatography and plasma and blood proteins. Contains carbonic anhydrases A and B; both forms have similar high specific activities and therefore belong to the C-group of mammalian carbonic anhydrases (1).
Carbonic Anhydrase is a zinc-containing enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate. It plays a main role in physiological processes like respiration, ion transport, acid–base balance, lipid and carbohydrate metabolic pathways.
Unit definition: 1 U catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1 µmole 4-nitrophenyl acetate per minute at 25 °C, pH 7.6 (2).
Activity in other units: ca. 4000 Wilbur-Anderson units/mg (3).
