| Type: | Family | Name: | Putative carbonic anhydrase-like protein 2 |
| Description: | Carbonic anhydrases (CA: ) are zinc metalloenzymes which catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate []. CAs have essential roles in facilitating the transport of carbon dioxide and protons in the intracellular space, across biological membranes and in the layers of the extracellular space; they are also involved in many other processes, from respiration and photosynthesis in eukaryotes to cyanate degradation in prokaryotes.This entry represents a group of putative carbonic anhydrases from nematodes, such as CAH2 from Caenorhabditis elegans. | Short Name: | CAH2 |
