Overview

CD38 (NAD+ glycohydrolase) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein able to induce activation, proliferation and differentiation of mature lymphocytes and mediate apoptosis of myeloid andlymphoid progenitor cells. CD38 functions as a multi-catalytic ectoenzyme serving as ADP-ribosylcyclase, cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase and possibly NAD+ glycohydrolase or as a cell surface receptor.Antibodies to CD38 are useful in subtyping of lymphomas and leukemias, detection of plasma cells(i.e. identification of myelomas), and as a marker for activated B and T cells. CD38 participates in celladhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling. Further, CD38 is expressed at high levels in thepancreas, liver, kidney, malignant lymphoma and neuroblastoma. Diseases associated with CD38dysfunction include chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter's Syndrome.Immunogen: Human CD38
