Background Information
CA2(carbonic anhydrase II ) is also called Car2, CA-II, and CAII and belongs to the alpha-carbonic anhydrase family. It reversibly hydrates CO2 in cellular ion transport and homeostasis. CA2 is essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation. It regulates SLC9A1 activity via a phosphorylation-regulated CAII binding site in SLC9A1 tail(PMID:16475831). It also may be involved in brain development (PMID:16825953). Defects in CA2 cause osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3).

Reviews
What customers say
Both reviewers rated this antibody 5 stars for Western Blot applications. One user reported a strong signal at a 1:1000 dilution (overnight at 4°C) in MCF7 cells. The other used it at 1:500 to detect carbonic anhydrase II in primary mouse osteoclasts, noting a very clean blot with no non-specific bands. Overall, users highlight strong signal intensity and high specificity across different cell types.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Adrianna (Verified Customer) (10-31-2022) | Very good antibody, 1:1000 dilution incubated ON at 4 deg C gave a strong signal.
|
Isabel (Verified Customer) (07-03-2020) | Antibody was used to detect carbonic anhydrase II in protein samples taken from primary mouse osteoclasts. The blot produced was really clean with no other bands.
