Recombinant Human Carbonic Anhydrase X / CA10 Protein (His tag)

Carbonic anhydrase X, also called carbonic anhydrase - related protein X (CARPX) and CA10, belongs to the CA family of zinc metalloenzymes which catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide in various biological processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption. The secreted protein CARPX without CA activity (hydration of CO2) is identified as an acatalytic member of the alpha-carbonic anhydrase subgroup. CARP X expression is detected in the adult total brain and almost all parts of the central nervous system, but not in the fetal brain. Accordingly, CARP X is suggested to play a role in the development of central nervous system, especially the brain. The same CARP X protein are encoded by multiple transcript variants of this gene.
