Abstract excerpt
Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a tumor-associated, hypoxia-induced enzyme involved in pH regulation and cell adhesion. Its catalytically active ectodomain (ECD) is linked to a transmembrane region and a short intracellular (IC) tail. Removal of the IC tail causes intracellular localization of CA IX. Mutations of basic amino acids within IC do not perturb the membrane position, but reduce shedding of the CA IX...
