Carbonic Anhydrase XIV/CA14, Human Recombinant

Carbonic Anhydrase XIV/CA14, Human Recombinant

• Description: Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA14 is predicted to be a type I membrane protein and shares highest sequence similarity with the other transmembrane CA isoform, CA XII; however, they have different patterns of tissue-specific expression and thus may play different physiologic roles. Recombinant human CA14 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
