Western Blotting (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)
Specificity
This antibody detects Carbonic anhydrase 2. Immunoelectrophoresis give a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified Carbonic anhydrase 2 [bovine erythrocytes].
Purification
This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by delipidation and defibrination.
Suitable for immunoblotting (western or dot blot), ELISA, immunoprecipitation and mostimmunological methods requiring high titer and specificity. This product has been assayed against 1.0 μg of Carbonic Anhydrase II [BovineErythrocytes] in a standard sandwich ELISA using Peroxidase conjugated affinity purifiedanti-Rabbit IgG [H&L] (Goat) and (ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonicacid]) as a substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. A working dilution of 1: 3,000 to1: 14,000 of the reconstitution concentration is suggested for this product. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) is a single polypeptide chain of molecular weight 29 kDa. It is present in the cytosol of most tissues, but highest concentrations are found, like Carbonic Anhydrase I, in erythrocytes. The concentration in erythrocytes is about 20μM. It catalyses the hydration of CO2 and the hydrolysis of esters. Zn2+ ion cofactor is required for enzyme activity. Certain point mutations occur without apparent clinical effect, however, complete absence leads to mild mental retardation and cerebral calcification, osteoporosis and renal tubular acidosis.Synonyms: CA-II, CA2, CAC, Carbonate dehydratase II, Carbonic anhydrase C, Carbonic anhydrase II
