Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable carbonate dehydratase activity. Predicted to be involved in one-carbon metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head neurons; intestine; pharynx; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 3; cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome; and colorectal carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human CA1 (carbonic anhydrase 1) and CA13 (carbonic anhydrase 13).
