CA1 Antibody

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA1 is closely linked to CA2 and CA3 genes on chromosome 8, and it encodes a cytosolic protein which is found at the highest level in erythrocytes.

Transcript variants of CA1 utilizing alternative polyA_sites have been described in literature.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store CA1 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

CA1 antibody can be used for detection of CA1 by ELISA at 1:312500. CA1 antibody can be used for detection of CA1 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
