| Description | This entry contains carbonic anhydrase related proteins (CARPs) X and XI, which have been implicated in various biological processes of the central nervous system. CARPs are sequence similar to carbonic anhydrases. Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide in a two-step mechanism. CARPs have lost conserved histidines involved in zinc binding and consequently their catalytic activity [ ]. CARP XI plays a role in the development of gastrointestinal stromal tumors []. Phylogeny shows that CARP XI emerged from CARP X []. |
