Background: Carbonic Anhydrase III/CA3

Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible reaction of CO₂ + H₂O = HCO₃^- + H⁺, which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption (1).

Topics in a CA meeting (6^th International Conference on the CAs, June 20?25, 2003, Slovakia) ranged from the use of CAs as markers for tumor and hypoxia in the clinic, as a nutritional supplement in milk, and as a tool for CO₂ removal and mosquito control in industry. CA3 is a cytosolic enzyme with a very low CA activity. It is expressed at low levels in human muscle during early development but increases rapidly during the last trimester to reach 50?60% of adult levels at birth (2).
