QuickView for CA6 (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- CA6
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- carbonic anhydrase 6
- Synonyms:
- CA-VI, GUSTIN, carbonic anhydrase 6, carbonate dehydratase VI, carbonic anhydrase VI nirs variant 2, salivary carbonic anhydrase, secreted carbonic anhydrase
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 1: 8928509-8957738
- Description:
-
The protein encoded by this gene is one of several isozymes of carbonic anhydrase. This protein is found only in salivary glands and saliva and protein may play a role in the reversible hydratation of carbon dioxide though its function in saliva is unknown.
