About Car2

Chromosome 3: 14,951,333-14,965,830 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000996.3

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 285 orthologues, 15 paralogues and is associated with 19 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver E14 (RPKM 556.3), liver E14.5 (RPKM 538.2) and 14 other tissues.

Summary

Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Involved in positive regulation of dipeptide transmembrane transport and regulation of intracellular pH. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including carbon dioxide transport; positive regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of cellular pH reduction. Located in cytosol and myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; metanephros; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 3 and osteopetrosis. Orthologous to human CA2 (Carbonic Anhydrase 2).
