Product Overview
Carbonic 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. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA VB is localized in the mitochondria and shows the highest sequence similarity to the other mitochondrial CA, CA VA. It has a wider tissue distribution than CA VA, which is restricted to the liver. The differences in tissue distribution suggest that the two mitochondrial carbonic anhydrases evolved to assume different physiologic roles.CA5B (Carbonic Anhydrase 5B) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with CA5B include Heart Conduction Disease and Heart Septal Defect. Among its related pathways are Nitrogen metabolism and Metabolism. GO annotations related to this gene include carbonate dehydratase activity. An important paralog of this gene is CA5A.

For IHC-P, heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) is typically required. Recommended starting conditions: citrate buffer pH 6.0 (microwave or pressure cooker, ~20 min) for rodent samples; EDTA buffer pH 9.0 for human clinical samples. After retrieval, allow sections to cool gradually before proceeding to blocking. Include a CA5B-positive tissue control (confirmed by literature or database expression data) and a negative isotype control in every run. Recommended dilution: IHC 1:40-1:200. Refer to the product datasheet for any target-specific retrieval guidance.
This antibody has been experimentally validated in: Human. Cross-reactivity with other species has not been systematically evaluated. If your sample species is not listed, assess immunogen sequence homology to your target species ortholog. The immunogen used is: "Synthetic peptide of human CA5B" — higher sequence identity between species increases the probability of cross-reactivity, but experimental validation with appropriate controls is necessary before drawing scientific conclusions.
Store at -20℃ Valid for 12 months. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Storage Buffer: PBS with 0.05% NaN3 and 40% Glycerol,pH7.4. To maintain antibody activity, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Aliquot into single-use volumes before first freeze. If working with the antibody frequently, keep a working stock at 4°C for up to 4 weeks — add 0.02% sodium azide to the working stock as a bacteriostatic agent if azide is not already present in the buffer. Monitor performance against a validated positive control when transitioning between storage aliquots or lots.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced from immunized animals and may exhibit some degree of lot-to-lot variation in titer, background, and sensitivity. Each production lot is tested for performance against established acceptance criteria. When transitioning to a new lot, run a side-by-side pilot comparison against your previous lot using a validated positive control sample before updating your standard protocol. If significant performance differences are observed, contact our technical support team — titer adjustments may resolve the issue in most cases.
