Question

Carbonic anhydrase enzyme is present in , and for its activity the enzyme requires as a cofactor. (A) RBC, plasma and Zn2+ (B) Plasma, WBC and Mn2+ (C) RBC, plasma and Ca2+ (D) Leukocytes, macrophages and Zn2+

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The carbonic anhydrases form a family of enzymes that catalyze the interconversion between carbon dioxide and water and the dissociated ions of carbonic acid. The active site of most carbonic anhydrases contains a zinc ion.
The bivalent form of zinc (Zn⁺²) is a constituent of enzymes like carbonic anhydrase, hexokinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, lactic dehydrogenase and carboxypeptidase.
