Gene information for CA12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID771
Official gene symbolCA12
Full namecarbonic anhydrase XII
Aliases,CAXII,FLJ20151,HsT18816,
Gene summaryCarbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. This gene product is a type I membrane protein that is highly expressed in normal tissues, such as kidney, colon and pancreas, and has been found to be overexpressed in 10% of clear cell renal carcinomas. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
