CA13
Description
The CA13 (carbonic anhydrase 13) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 8.
Carbonic anhydrase 13 (CA13) is a protein encoded by the CA13 gene in humans. CA13, like other carbonic anhydrases (CAs), is a zinc metalloenzyme that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. This process is crucial for maintaining the body's pH balance and is involved in various biological functions.
The CA13 gene encodes for a protein that catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide, a key process in many biological functions.
CA13 is also known as CAXIII.
