چکیده

The isoenzymes carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and III (CAIII) have been measured by radioimmunoassay in the livers of male and female rats aged from 21 to 800 days. No sexual dimorphism at 21 days was found, but from 50 to 400 days both isoenzymes show sexual differences. From 600 days onwards, these differences are less apparent. CAIII concentrations in two 'fast' fibre muscles and one 'slow' fibre muscle have been determined. There is no sexual dimorphism in muscle, but a wide variation between individuals was observed. Fast muscles show maximal CAIII levels at 800 days, whereas in slow muscle the concentration of the isoenzyme is declining at this time.

Mitochondrial proteomic profiling reveals increased carbonic anhydrase II in aging and neurodegeneration

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are used to treat glaucoma and cancers. Carbonic anhydrases perform a crucial role in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into bicarbonate and protons. However, there is little information about carbonic anhydrase isoforms during the process of ageing. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicit in ageing brain and muscle. We have interrogated isolated mitochondri...

Histochemical identification of fibre types in the hamstring muscles of phosphorylase kinase-deficient ICR/IAn and normal C3H mice.

The low-activity sulphonamide resistant isozyme of carbonic anhydrase 111 has been shown to be skeletal-muscle-specific in man (Carter et al., 1979), and preliminary experiments have demonstrated high activities of the homologous molecule in rabbit, bovine, sheep, baboon, pig, chicken, rat and mouse muscle (Jeffery & Carter, 1980). Several years ago a sulphonamide(Diamox)-resistant isoenzyme of...

Characterisation of cDNA clones for rat muscle carbonic anhydrase III.

cDNA clones for rat muscle carbonic anhydrase III have been isolated from a lambda gt-11 library and sequenced. Comparison with human CAIII cDNA showed about 90% homology to rat. The rat clones were used to estimate mRNA from liver and muscle on Northern blots and showed that the sexual dimorphism of CAIII in rat liver relates to a difference in mRNA levels.

Testosterone-induced, sulfonamide-resistant carbonic anhydrase isozyme of rat liver is indistinguishable from skeletal muscle carbonic anhydrase III.

Three isozymes of carbonic anhydrase, CA I, CA II and CA III, have been characterized from the tissues of a variety of vertebrate species. CA I (low-activity, sulfonamide-sensitive form) has been found mainly in red cells but also occurs in other tissues (e.g., rumen epithelium, caecum, colonic mucosa, pituitary gland, ciliary body), CA II (high-activity, sulfonamide-sensitive form) is found in...

pH Dependence Study of the Kinetic Reaction of Bovine Carbonic Anhydrase with 2,2'-Dithiobispyridine in the Absence and Presence of Surfactants

The pH dependence study reveals that the Cys 206 sulphydryl group of bovine carbonicanhydrase in the native form is not exposed. During the reaction of 2,2'-dithiobispyridine (2-DTP) with the enzyme, there was no absorbance change recorded. In the presence ofsurfactants, the pH dependence profiles of the apparent second order rate constants, kapp, forthe reaction of 2-DTP with bovine carbonic a...
