Enzyme Information
| 4.2.1.1 | Carbonic anhydrase. based on mapping to UniProt P00918 H(2)CO(3) = CO(2) + H(2)O. -!- The enzyme catalyzes the reversible hydration of gaseous CO(2) to carbonic acid, which spontaneously converts to hydrogencarbonate under neutral pH. -!- It is widespread and found in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. -!- Three distinct classes exist, and appear to have evolved independently. |
