The reaction catalyzed by CA1 is the same as other carbonic anhydrase family proteins: + (in tissues - high CO 2 concentration) [9]. The CA1-catalyzed reaction has a relatively low reaction affinity (Km) of 4.0 mM for CO 2, [7] [10] turnover number (Kcat) of 2 × 10 5 s −1, and catalytic efficiency (Kcat/Km) of 5 × 10 7 M −1 s −1 comparing to other isozymes of the α-CA family of ...
The US Institute of Medicine (IOM) established Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for calcium in 1997 and updated those values in 2011. [6] See table. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) uses the term Population Reference Intake (PRIs) instead of RDAs and sets slightly different numbers: ages 4–10 800 mg, ages 11–17 1150 mg, ages 18–24 1000 mg, and >25 years 950 mg.

The resting concentration of Ca 2+ in the cytoplasm is normally maintained around 100 nM.This is 20,000- to 100,000-fold lower than typical extracellular concentration. [1] [2] To maintain this low concentration, Ca 2+ is actively pumped from the cytosol to the extracellular space, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and sometimes into the mitochondria.
Phosphorus occurs in amounts of about 2/3 of calcium, and makes up about 1% of a person's body weight. [10] The other major minerals (potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur and magnesium) make up only about 0.85% of the weight of the body. Together these eleven chemical elements (H, C, N, O, Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, S, Mg) make up 99.85% of the body.
Hydrophobic pockets in the Ca 2+ /Cam complex will also bind to three sections of the IQ domain known as the “aromatic anchors”. [11] The Ca 2+ /Cam complex has a high affinity towards L-type calcium channels, allowing it to get blocked even when there are low amounts of calcium present in the cell. The pore eventually closes as the cell ...
Calcium regulation in the human body. [6]The plasma ionized calcium concentration is regulated within narrow limits (1.3–1.5 mmol/L). This is achieved by both the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland, and the parathyroid glands constantly sensing (i.e. measuring) the concentration of calcium ions in the blood flowing through them.
