CA1

CA1, carbonic anhydrase 1, alias CAB/CAR1/CAN, etc. It is a membrane-bound glycoprotein and a member of the carbonic anhydrase-related protein family. It is a membrane-bound glycoprotein, a member of the carbonic anhydrase-associated protein family, which is mainly expressed on the plasma membrane of human cells, especially in the lungs, kidneys, prostate, and erythrocytes.The mechanism of action of CA1 is to participate in the regulation of acid-base balance and gas exchange in vivo by catalysing the reversible reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) and protons (H+). acid-base balance and gas exchange. This process is essential for maintaining blood pH and facilitating the release of oxygen to the tissues.

CA1 has a wide range of biological significance and is involved in a variety of physiological processes including respiration, metabolism and the maintenance of acid-base balance. In the lungs, CA1 helps regulate gas exchange and promotes CO2 excretion; in the kidney, it is involved in bicarbonate reabsorption and influences urine acidification; and in the prostate, CA1 is associated with the acidified microenvironment of tumours, which may influence the proliferation and metastasis of tumour cells. In addition, CA1 activity has been associated with certain genetic disorders; for example, some forms of type II carbonic anhydrase deficiency are associated with mutations in the SLC45A1 gene. Thus, CA1 not only plays a key role in maintaining physiological functions, but is also a potential target for medical research and therapeutic intervention.
