Summary: Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Involved in small molecule metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; enteric muscle; excretory cell; rectal muscle; and somatic nervous system. Orthologous to several human genes including CA1 (carbonic anhydrase 1); CA13 (carbonic anhydrase 13); and CA3 (carbonic anhydrase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

Genes possibly encoding beta-CAs were revealed by in silico analysis of the C. elegans genome.[Carbonic anhydrase]
Title: Molecular and biochemical analysis of the beta class carbonic anhydrases in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Both methazolamide and dichlorphenamide were shown to interact with CAH-4.
Title: Evaluation of the therapeutic potential of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors in two animal models of dystrophin deficient muscular dystrophy.
The gene cah-4 encodes two putative alpha carbonic anhydrases (CAH-4a and CAH-4b), one of which was five-fold up regulated in an alkaline environment - CAH-4b.
Title: External pH influences the transcriptional profile of the carbonic anhydrase, CAH-4b in Caenorhabditis elegans.
