Summary: Predicted to enable hydro-lyase activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. 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. Orthologous to human CA8 (carbonic anhydrase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
