Abstract:
Carbonic anhydrase III (CA III) is a low-activity cytosolic isozyme that is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, liver, adipose tissue, and other tissues where it contributes to redox homeostasis, metabolism, and cell survival. CA III is now recognized as a multifunctional protein involved in antioxidant defense, lipid metabolism, adipogenesis, tissue repair, and disease processes including cancer. This chapter reviews the discovery, structure, catalytic features, physiological roles, and disease associations of CA III.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
