Structural highlights
Disease
[CAH12_HUMAN] Defects in CA12 are the cause of hyperchlorhidrosis isolated (HCHLH) [MIM:143860]. HCHLH is a disorder characterized by excessive sweating and increased sweat chloride levels. Affected individuals suffer from episodes of hyponatremic dehydration and report increased amounts of visible salt precipitates in sweat.[1]
Function
[CAH12_HUMAN] Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide.
