A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of CA8 antibody, Alternative Names: Carbonic Anhydrase VIII control peptide, Carbonic Anhydrase VIII antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-Carbonic Anhydrase VIII Blocking Peptide, CA8 Blocking Peptide, CA-VIII Blocking Peptide, CALS Blocking Peptide, CARP Blocking Peptide, MGC120502 Blocking Peptide, MGC99509 Blocking Peptide, Car8 Blocking Peptide
CA8 was initially named CA-related protein because of sequence similarity to other known carbonic anhydrase genes. However, CA8 lacks carbonic anhydrase activity (i.e., the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide). CA8 continues to carry a carbonic anhydrase designation based on clear sequence identity to other members of the carbonic anhydrase gene family.
