SDS-PAGE
Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible reaction of CO2 H2O = HCO3- H , which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption. CA1 is a cytosolic enzyme with the highest levels in erythrocytes and is a very early marker for erythroid differentiation. The activity of recombinant mouse CA1 was measured by its ability to hydrolyze 4-Nitrophenyl acetate (4-NPA) to 4-Nitrophenol. The reaction was performed in 12.5 mM Tris, 75 mM NaCl, pH 7.5 (assay buffer), initiated by addition 50 μL of various concentrations of CA1 (diluted by assay buffer) to 50 uL of 2 mM substrate 4-NPA (100 mM stock in Acetone, diluted by assay buffer). Incubated at 37°C for 5min, then read at a wavelength of 400 nm.
