CD38, also known as ADP­ribosyl cyclase, is a single-pass type II transmembrane protein. CD38 is expressed in B and T lymphocytes, osteoclasts, and in cardiac, pancreatic, liver and kidney cells. CD38 is a multifunctional ectoenzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose from NAD+ to ADP-ribose. Through its production of cyclic ADP­ribose, CD38 modulates calcium signaling in many types of cells, including neutrophils and pancreatic β cells. CD38 also functions in cell adhesion signal transduction. CD38 has been used as a prognostic marker in leukemia and a surface marker to identify plasma cells. CD38 also plays a key role in neuropeptide release.  It may regulate maternal and social behaviors, thereby contributing to neurodevelopmental disorders. Defects of CD38 are associated with impaired immune responses, metabolic disturbances, and behavioral modifications.  CD38 is implicated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, leukemias, myelomas, solid tumors, type II diabetes mellitus, and bone metabolism. In addition to immune responses, CD38 may play an equally important role as an intrinsic pulmonary component. CD38 is the main cellular NADase in mammalian tissues to control cellular NAD levels, making CD38 a promising therapeutic target for multiple pathological conditions.

Product Details

 

Gene Symbol: CD38; T10; ADPRC1; ADPRC-1

 

NCBI Gene ID: 952

 

Uniprot Entry: P28907

 

Construct Details: Expressed as the combination of a heavy chain (HC) containing VH from anti-CD38 mAb and CH1-3 region of rabbit IgG and a light chain (LC) encoding VL from anti-CD38 mAb.  Exists as a disulfide linked dimer of the HC and LC hetero-dimer under non-reducing condition.

 

Source: Mammalian cells stably expressing anti-CD38 heavy chain and light chain and growing in chemical-defined media with no animal components. 

 

M.W.: Calculated molecular mass (kDa): 147 (49 kDa for a single HC, 24.5 kDa for a single LC); Estimated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing condition(kDa): 150

 

Purity: >95% judged by SDS-PAGE under reducing condition (see the gel image above, labeled as DTT "+")

 

Formulation: Supplied at 1.0 mg/ml in sterile PBS pH7.4 without any carrier protein or preservative (the concentration determined by UV absorption with an A280nm of 1.0 for 0.73 mg/ml of IgG and verified by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining)

 

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 EU per 1 μg of purified recombinant protein determined by the LAL method

 

Biological Activity: Binds the immobilized CD38 ECD protein (SKU#FCL1017) with high affinity by ELISA.  Has the same binding specificity as anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies, human IgG1 (SKU#MAB1135), and  mouse IgG2a (SKU#MAB1119). Recognizes cell surface CD38 by flow cytometry, IHC staining and fluorescent microscopy. Inhibits the enzymatic activity of CD38.
