carbonic anhydrase 2 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of bone resorption; positive regulation of cellular pH reduction; and positive regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; basolateral plasma membrane; and microvillus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 3 and osteopetrosis. Orthologous to human CA2 (carbonic anhydrase 2).
