Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a family of zinc metalloenzymes. For background information on the CA family, see 114800.
Venta et al. (1987) described the partial characterization of carbonic anhydrase VII.
Montgomery et al. (1987, 1991) detected the mRNA for CA VII in salivary glands only.
Montgomery et al. (1987, 1991) mapped the partially characterized CA7 isozyme to chromosome 16q21-q23 by analysis of somatic cell hybrids and by in situ hybridization.
