Carbonic Anhydrase VIII / CA8 Recombinant Protein | CA8 recombinant protein
Recombinant Human Carbonic Anhydrase VIII / CA8 Protein (His tag)
Description: A DNA sequence encoding the human CA8 (NP_004047.3) (Met 1-Gln 290) was expressed, with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene was initially named CA-related protein because of sequence similarity to other known carbonic anhydrase genes. However, the gene product lacks carbonic anhydrase activity (i.e., the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide). The gene product continues to carry a carbonic anhydrase designation based on clear sequence identity to other members of the carbonic anhydrase gene family. The absence of CA8 gene transcription in the cerebellum of the lurcher mutant in mice with a neurologic defect suggests an important role for this acatalytic form. Mutations in this gene are associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation, and dysequilibrium syndrome 3 (CMARQ3). Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with osteoporosis, and overexpression of this gene in osteosarcoma cells suggests an oncogenic role. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
Uniprot Description
CA8: Does not have a carbonic anhydrase catalytic activity. Defects in CA8 are the cause of cerebellar ataxia mental retardation and dysequilibrium syndrome type 3 (CMARQ3). CMARQ3 is a congenital cerebellar ataxia associated with dysarthia, quadrupedal gait and mild mental retardation. Belongs to the alpha-carbonic anhydrase family.
Protein type: Energy Metabolism - nitrogen; Lyase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q12.1

Product Notes
The CA8 ca8 (Catalog #AAA2546239) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The recombinant human CA8 comprises 296 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 33.8 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 37 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CA8 ca8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Carbonic Anhydrase VIII / CA8, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
