Also known as CAIVCar4
Summary
CA4 (carbonic anhydrase 4, HGNC:1375) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q23.1, encoding Carbonic anhydrase 4 (P22748). Catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and protons and thus is essential to maintaining intracellular and extracellular pH.
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. This gene encodes a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-anchored membrane isozyme expressed on the luminal surfaces of pulmonary (and certain other) capillaries and proximal renal tubules. Its exact function is not known; however, it may have a role in inherited renal abnormalities of bicarbonate transport.

All UniProt accessions (4): P22748, K7EIH9, K7EKY5, K7ENI8
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate and protons and thus is essential to maintaining intracellular and extracellular pH. May stimulate the sodium/bicarbonate transporter activity of SLC4A4 that acts in pH homeostasis. It is essential for acid overload removal from the retina and retina epithelium, and acid release in the choriocapillaris in the choroid.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SLC4A4.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in the endothelium of the choriocapillaris in eyes (at protein level). Not expressed in the retinal epithelium at detectable levels.
Disease relevance. Retinitis pigmentosa 17 (RP17) [MIM:600852] A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Defective acid overload removal from retina and retinal epithelium, due to mutant CA4, is responsible for photoreceptor degeneration, indicating that impaired pH homeostasis is the most likely cause underlying the RP17 phenotype.
Activity regulation. Activated by histamine, L-adrenaline, D-phenylalanine, L- and D-histidine. Inhibited by coumarins, saccharin, sulfonamide derivatives such as acetazolamide and Foscarnet (phosphonoformate trisodium salt).
Similarity. Belongs to the alpha-carbonic anhydrase family.

Drugs & pharmacology
Drug and pharmacology data
Is drug target: yes
ChEMBL targets (2): CHEMBL2095180 (PROTEIN FAMILY), CHEMBL3729 (SINGLE PROTEIN)
Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)
Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the CA4 protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.
4 curated-mechanism drugs:
| Drug | Modality | Max phase |

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 1,363,103 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
