“…Some of them are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII and CA XIII), others are membrane bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII and CA XIV), two are mitochondrial (CA VA and CA VB), and one is secreted in saliva (CA VI). It has been reported that CA XV isoform is not expressed in humans or in other primates, but it is abundant in rodents and other vertebrates 1,[3][4][5][6][7] . CAs are produced in a variety of tissues where they participate in several important biological processes such as acid-base balance, respiration, carbon dioxide and ion transport, bone resorption, ureagenesis, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and body fluid generation 1,[4][5][6] .…”
