Carbonic anhydrase II (CA2) is a zinc metalloenzyme widely present in vertebrate tissues, mainly distributed in red blood cells, kidneys, gastric mucosa and the central nervous system. As the most active isoenzyme in the carbonic anhydrase family, it plays a core role in maintaining physiological processes such as acid-base balance, electrolyte secretion and gas exchange in the body by reversibly catalyzing the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons.
