Target Species
Human
Target Name
CA4
Target Full Name
Carbonic anhydrase 4
Target 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.
Target Involvement
Retinitis pigmentosa 17 (RP17)
Target Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor.
Target Protein Families
Alpha-carbonic anhydrase family
Target Tissue Specificity
Expressed in the endothelium of the choriocapillaris in eyes (at protein level). Not expressed in the retinal epithelium at detectable levels.
Target Synonyms
CA IV; CA4; CAH4_HUMAN; CAIV ; Car4 ; Carbonate dehydratase IV; Carbonic anhydrase 4; Carbonic dehydratase; Carbonic dehydratase IV ; EC 4.2.1.1; Retinitis pigmentosa 17 (autosomal dominant); RP17
Target Background
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. This gene encodes a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-anchored membrane isozyme expressed on the luminal surfaces of pulmonary (and certain other) capillaries and proximal renal tubules. Its exact function is not known; however, it may have a role in inherited renal abnormalities of bicarbonate transport.
