Carbonic anhydrase II

Carbonic anhydrase II (gene name CA2), is one of fourteen forms of human α carbonic anhydrases. Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes reversible hydration of is_associated_with::carbon dioxide. Defects in this enzyme are associated with is_associated_with::osteopetrosis and is_associated_with::renal tubular acidosis. Renal carbonic anhydrase allows the reabsorption of sodium ions in the proximal tubule.

Interactions
Carbonic anhydrase II has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::Band 3   and is_associated_with::Sodium-hydrogen antiporter 1.
