Preparation and Storage
Background: CD38
CD38 is a type II transmembrane protein that functions as a signaling molecule and mediates the adhesion between lymphocytes and endothelial cells. It also functions enzymatically in the formation and hydrolyzation of the second messenger cyclic ADP ribose. In the hematopoietic system, CD38 is most highly expressed on plasma cells.
