Summary: Predicted to enable hydro-lyase activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Used to study cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome. Orthologous to human CA8 (carbonic anhydrase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) carbonic anhydrase 8 (Car8) expression is variable across 25 naive-inbred strains of mice, and this cis-regulated quantitative trait locus is correlated with nociceptive responses in mice. Mean DRG Car8 gene expression is directly related to the dose of morphine or clonidine needed to provide a half-maximal analgesic response.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
