The role of carbonic anhydrase in acid secretion and calcium uptake by the chorioallantoic membrane of the chick embryo

The major source of calcium for the developing chick embryo is the eggshell. However, the actual mechanism of calcium solubilization from the shell is unknown. The temporal correlation of carbonic anhydrase activity to calcium movement implies that an acidic environment is essentail. To clarify the...
