CA2
Renal System · Distal Nephron Acid-Base Regulation
How does CA2 connect carbon dioxide with acid-base balance?
CA2 makes carbonic anhydrase II, which speeds the reversible conversion between carbon dioxide and bicarbonate-related forms. This chemistry supports processes involved in regulating acidity and mineral handling.
