Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Predicted to be involved in bicarbonate transport and one-carbon metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbon dioxide transport and regulation of pH. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; lung; nervous system; and taste bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human CA4 (carbonic anhydrase 4).
