A role of salivary carbonic anhydrase VI in dental plaque

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) VI is a unique secreted isozyme of CA, which catalyzes the reversible reaction CO 2 + H 2O ↔ H + + HCO 3 −. CA VI has been thought to provide a greater buffering capacity to fluids into which it is secreted. This study was performed to confirm this in saliva. Nine healthy sub...
