Carbonic Anhydrase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating the levels of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate in the body. It catalyzes the reversible reaction between carbon dioxide and water to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate and protons. This process is essential for maintaining acid-base balance and facilitating gas exchange in tissues and the lungs. This enzyme is found in various tissues, including red blood cells, kidneys, and the pancreas. Carbonic Anhydrase is vital for processes such as respiration and digestion. Its activity helps transport carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for exhalation, ensuring efficient respiratory function.
