Reaction: Carbonic anhydrase VI dehydrates bicarbonate to water and carbon dioxide
- in pathway: Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide
Carbonic anhydrase VI (CA6) dehydrates bicarbonate to yield water and carbon dioxide (Thatcher et al. 1998, Nishimori et al. 2007). Depending on the concentrations of reactants the reaction is reversible. CA6 is a major protein of saliva and is also known as gustin.
