| Abstract: | A 13-fold increase in carbonic anhydrase specific activity was found during the first 24 h in developing embryos of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Carbonic anhydrase activity was sensitive to inhibition by 10−4 M acetazolamide. Roles for carbonic anhydrase activity in intracellular pH regulation and spicule formation are discussed. |
