Description of Protein/Function
4RIU is a one chain structure that is 260 amino acids long. It is a transmembrane homodimeric enzyme with an extracellularly positioned catalytic domain. 4RIU's functions include bone resorption, regulation of fluid secretion into anterior chamber of eye and catalyzing the hydration of CO2 to HCO3− and a proton.

Protein's Impacts
Many cancers are made exceedingly invasive when tumors are subjected to hypoxic stresses triggered by a decrease of oxygen in the tumor’s microenvironment or by aspects involved with inflammation. Hypoxic stress increases tumor growth, metastasis, invasiveness and resistance to treatments. When under hypoxic stress the pH of the tumor’s microenvironment decreases while the pH inside the tumor stays fairly normal and when this differential environment is altered it is fatal to the tumor cells. Carbonic anhydrase IX influences the differential pH and when it is inhibited it decreases tumor growth and enhances the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
