Ca4 ELISA Kit (Mouse) (OKBB01318)

Description of target: Carbonic anhydrase 4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CA4 gene. It is mapped to 11; 11 C. 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. CA IV is a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-anchored membrane isozyme expressed on the luminal surfaces of pulmonary (and certain other) capillaries and of proximal renal tubules. Its exact function is not known, however, it may have a role in inherited renal abnormalities of bicarbonate transport.;Species reactivity: Mouse;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <50pg/ml
