Product Description
Carbonic Anhydrase XII Human Recombinant
Overview
Carbonic anhydrase 12 (CA12) is an enzyme that belongs to the Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) family. This is a large family of zinc metalloenzymes which catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They are involved in various biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. CA12 is a type I membrane protein which is highly expressed in normal tissues, such as the kidney, colon and pancreas, and is overexpressed in 10% of clear cell renal carcinomas.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 300 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyze 1.0 pmole of 4-nitrophenyl acetate to 4-nitrophenol per minute at pH 7.5 at 37C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | CA12 protein solution (0.5mg/ml) containing Phosphate Buffer Saline (pH7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
