It is normally present in the follwing site:

2)acqueous humor of the eye

3)Parietal cells of stomach

4)Pancreas

5)RBCs

6)Kidney in proximal & distal convoluted tubules

Where does Carbonic Anhydrase occur naturally?

Carbonic acid is normally found in the water of every ocean and sea, and in lakes and rivers, as well as in precipitation. Carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere, and where ever air comes in contact with water in any form, carbonic acid forms (though it's less so with ice).


Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme in the human body that participates in the reaction shown below?

The person would not produce H2CO3 quickly apex


Carbon dioxide molecules combine with water to form carbonic acid within the?

blood, which helps regulate the pH balance in the body. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase found in red blood cells. The resulting carbonic acid can then dissociate into bicarbonate ions, which serve as a buffer system to maintain blood pH within a narrow range.


How is bicarbonate produce?

Bicarbonate is produced in the body through the dissociation of carbonic acid into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. This process occurs primarily in the red blood cells, where the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction. Bicarbonate is also a key component in the body's buffering system, helping to maintain the pH balance in blood and tissues.
