About Car2

Primary_assembly 2: 86,741,626-86,756,818 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 285 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 11 phenotypes. Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 2474.6), Kidney (RPKM 1633.5) and 3 other tissues.

Summary

Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of bone resorption; positive regulation of cellular pH reduction; and positive regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; basolateral plasma membrane; and microvillus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 3 and osteopetrosis. Orthologous to human CA2 (Carbonic Anhydrase 2).
