Abstract
During the last two decades, immunohistochemical approaches have greatly increased our understanding of the distribution and function of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in different organs. The availability of isoenzyme-specific antibodies to different CAs has made it possible to localize each isoenzyme at the cellular and subcellular levels, and this has attracted investigators to study their specific physiological role, based on a knowledge of the cell types expressing the enzyme. This review presents selected immunohistochemical data on CA isoenzymes in mammals and provides some functional correlations that could facilitate the understanding of the physiological role of CAs in different organs.
