Summary: Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Predicted to be involved in bicarbonate transport and one-carbon metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbon dioxide transport and regulation of pH. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; lung; nervous system; and taste bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human CA4 (carbonic anhydrase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
