Recombinant Human Carbonic Anhydrase IX/CA9 (rhCA9) (Catalog # 2188-CA)
Substrate: 4-Nitrophenyl acetate (4-NPA) (Sigma, Catalog # N8130), 100 mM stock in acetone
96-well Clear Plate (Costar, Catalog # 2592)
Plate reader (Model: SpectraMax Plus by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
Dilute rhCA9 to 20 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
Dilute Substrate to 2 mM in Assay Buffer.
Load in plate, 50 µL of 20 ng/µL rhCA9, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 2 mM Substrate.
Read at a wavelength of 400 nm (bottom read) in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
Calculate specific activity:
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) =

Background
Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the reversible reaction of CO2 + H2O = HCO3- + H+, which is fundamental to many processes such as respiration, renal tubular acidification and bone resorption (1-3). Topics in the CA meeting (6th International Conference on the CAs, June 20‑25, 2003, Slovakia) ranged from use of CAs as markers for tumor and hypoxia in clinic, as nutritional supplement in milk, and as a tool for CO2 removal and mosquito control in industry. CA9, also known as membrane antigen MN and renal cell carcinoma (RCC)‑associated antigen G250, is a transmembrane enzyme expressed primarily in carcinoma cells. It is one of the best markers for hypoxia and for RCC (4, 5). rhCA9 corresponds to the extracellular portion of human CA9.
