CA6 Gene (Protein Coding)

Carbonic Anhydrase 6

GC01P008945
GIFtS:
43
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.
