Subcellular location
- Subcellular Location:
- Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor.
Function
- Function:
- Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. May stimulate the sodium/bicarbonate transporter activity of SLC4A4 that acts in pH homeostasis. It is essential for acid overload removal from the retina and retina epithelium, and acid release in the choriocapillaris in the choroid.
- Catalytic Activity:
- H(2)CO(3) = CO(2) + H(2)O.
- Cofactor:
- COFACTOR: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105;
- Kinetics:
- BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=21.5 mM for CO(2)
- Enzyme Regulation:
- ENZYME REGULATION: Activated by histamine, L-adrenaline, D-phenylalanine, L- and D-histidine. Inhibited by coumarins, saccharin, sulfonamide derivatives such as acetazolamide and Foscarnet (phosphonoformate trisodium salt).
- Active Site:
- ACT_SITE 88 88 Proton acceptor.
