Carbonic anhydrase VI dehydrates bicarbonate to water and carbon dioxide

Carbonic anhydrase VI (CA6) dehydrates bicarbonate to yield water and carbon dioxide (Thatcher et al. 1998, Nishimori et al. 2007). Depending on the concentrations of reactants the reaction is reversible. CA6 is a major protein of saliva and is also known as gustin.

碳酸酐酶VI（CA6）将重碳酸盐脱水，生成水与二氧化碳（Thatcher等人，1998年；Nishimori等人，2007年）。依反应物浓度不同，该反应可逆。CA6为唾液中的主要蛋白质，亦称作gustin。
