Description

Predicted to have carbonate dehydratase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in cerebellum development; chordate embryonic development; and swimming behavior. Used to study cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; digestive system; hatching gland; hindbrain neural plate; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human CA8 (carbonic anhydrase 8).
