This antibody detects human Carbonic anhydrase 2. Cross reactivity against Carbonic anhydrase 2 from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined. Immunoelectrophoresis give a single precipitin arc against purified and partially purified Carbonic anhydrase 2 [human erythrocytes].
Purification
Prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination
Immunogen
Carbonic Anhydrase II from Human Erythrocytes. Genename: CA2
Suitable for Immunoblotting (Western or Dot blot), ELISA (1/115,000) and mostimmunological methods requiring high titer and specificity. Recommended Dilutions: This product has been assayed against 1.0 μg of CarbonicAnhydrase II [Human Erythrocytes] in a standard sandwich ELISA using Peroxidaseconjugated Affinity Purified anti-Rabbit IgG [H&L] (Goat) R1364HRP and (ABTS(2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) as a substrate for 30 minutes atroom temperature. A working dilution of 1: 1,000 to 1: 5,000 of the reconstitutionconcentration is suggested for this product. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
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
