Product Introduction
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible hydration dehydration reaction of CO2/H2CO3. CAs is widely found in nature, in animals, plants, and certain bacteria. Sixteen isoenzymes have been identified and identified in mammals. Because erythrocyte CA is relatively easy to obtain for experimental purposes, it is the most widely studied.
Application
Determination of carbon dioxide in the blood;
Eliminate CO2 in acidity test reagent;
Carboxyl group transfer;
Reduction reaction.
Precautions
The transport and excretion of carbon dioxide in the blood is largely dependent on the rapid catalysis of carbon dioxide reactions in red blood cells by CA. Bovine CA reversibly hydrates alkyl pyruvate and exhibits hydratase activity against a variety of substrates

Unit definition: A unit determined by the electrical method of Wilbur and Anderson (J. Bol.Chem., 176,147 (1948)), which measures the time (in seconds) required for a saturated CO2 solution to reduce the pH of a. 0.02M Tris-HCl buffer from 8.3 to 6.3 at 0-4 ℃
