CA5A Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

CA5A protein is a mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase that catalyzes the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate/HCO3, providing essential bicarbonate for mitochondrial enzymes. Impermeable mitochondria rely on CA5A to support enzymatic reactions critical to intermediary metabolism, including the urea cycle and the Krebs cycle. CA5A Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived CA5A protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-Met, C-His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

CA5A protein is a mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase that catalyzes the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate/HCO3, providing essential bicarbonate for mitochondrial enzymes. Impermeable mitochondria rely on CA5A to support enzymatic reactions critical to intermediary metabolism, including the urea cycle and the Krebs cycle. CA5A Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived CA5A protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-Met, C-His labeled tag.

Background

CA5A protein is a mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase crucial for the reversible conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate/HCO3 within the mitochondria, as indicated by its catalytic activity. Given that mitochondria are impermeable to HCO3, the role of CA5A becomes pivotal in supplying bicarbonate for various mitochondrial enzymes. These enzymes are integral to the synthesis of essential metabolites in intermediary metabolism, particularly in processes such as the urea and Krebs cycles. The activity of CA5A underscores its significance in maintaining the metabolic integrity of mitochondrial functions by facilitating the availability of bicarbonate for key enzymatic reactions.
