Carbon dioxide is reversibly hydrated by a zinc-containing enzyme called carbonic anhydrase (CA): CO2 + H2O ⇋ HCO3- + H+. Eight genetically distinct families of carbonic anhydrase enzymes (α-, β-, γ- δ-, ζ-, η-, θ- and ι- CAs) have so far been identified. Numerous physiological and pathological processes involve carbonic anhydrases. Many of them have the potential to be inhibited as effective therapeutic targets for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including oedema, glaucoma, obesity, cancer, epilepsy, and osteoporosis.
The carbonic anhydrase reaction is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including bone resorption, calcification, tumorigenicity, pH and CO2 homeostasis, electrolyte secretion in various tissues and organs, and respiration and transport of CO2 and bicarbonate between metabolizing tissues and lungs. Zn2+ metalloproteins known as α--CAs are found in a wide range of organisms, including plants, prokaryotes, fungi, algae, and protozoa. Numerous diseases, including glaucoma, edema, epilepsy, obesity, hypoxic tumors, neuropathic pain, arthritis, neurodegeneration, etc., have been linked to sixteen mammalian α--CA isoforms.
