Target Information

CD38 (NAD⁺ glycohydrolase) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that induces activation, proliferation, and differentiation of mature lymphocytes and mediates apoptosis of myeloid and lymphoid progenitor cells.
It functions as a multi-catalytic ectoenzyme serving as ADP-ribosyl cyclase, 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 (e.g., identification of myelomas)
• Marking activated B and T cells

CD38 is involved in cell adhesion, signal transduction, and calcium signaling, and is expressed at high levels in the pancreas, liver, kidney, malignant lymphoma, and neuroblastoma.
Diseases associated with CD38 dysfunction include chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Richter’s Syndrome.
