“…Indeed, bicarbonate is a substrate for several carboxylation enzymes involved in biosynthetic pathways such as biosynthesis of urea, glucose, fatty acids and possibly nucleotides [7][8][9][10] . The reaction not only provides a means to control the physiological pH values, but also supplies HCO 3 À ions for various physiological processes or metabolic, biosynthetic pathways, as those mentioned above [11][12][13][14] . So far, six unrelated genetic CA families have been discovered, namely, the a-, b-, g-, d-, z-and Z-CAs.…”
