Product Description
Biovision | K2042 | CD38 Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) DataSheet
Cluster of differentiation (CD38), also known as cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) to Nicotinamide and ADP-ribose (ADPR). Additionally, CD38 generates second messengers, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) using NAD as the substrate. Due to its role in NAD+ metabolism, the study of CD38 and its functions has been of great importance. CD38 has been implicated in regulating NAD+ metabolism, aging, and other diseased conditions including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, inflammation etc. Furthermore, CD38 is expressed by lymphoid, myeloid, red blood cells and platelets, the highest expression being found in plasma cells. High expression of CD38 by plasma cells makes CD38 an ideal target for targeted immunotherapy. BioVision’s CD38 Activity Assay Kit can be used to detect its activity in biological samples. The kit utilizes the ability of active CD38 to catalyze the conversion of a CD38 substrate to a fluorescent product (Ex/Em = 300/410 nm). This assay kit provides a rapid, simple and sensitive method to detect CD38 activity in a variety of sample types.
