Regional localization of carbonic anhydrase genesCA1 andCA3 on human chromosome 8

Abstract
The human carbonic anhydrase isozymes represent a family of homologous proteins which are important in respiratory function, fluid secretion, and maintenance of cellullar acid-base homeostasis. Using somatic cell genetic techniques we have mapped two of the CA genes (CA1and CA3)to human chromosome 8. In situ hybridization data demonstrates that both CA1and CA3map to the same region (q13–q22) of chromosome 8.
