An enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of dissolved bicarbonates and carbon dioxide.
Example sentencesExamples
- Limited evidence has been presented that elevated CO2 inhibits the transcription of genes coding for carbonic anhydrase and Rubisco activase.
- This component was eliminated when carbonic anhydrase activity was inhibited or deleted by genetic manipulation.
- Cellular carbonic anhydrase then catalyzes the reverse of reaction 17, leading to release of CO 2 from erythrocytes.
- Without the enzyme carbonic anhydrase the dehydration and hydration of carbon dioxide is a rather slow reaction.
- Two intracellular enzymes that may support active ion transport across crustacean gills are carbonic anhydrase and arginine kinase.
