CD38, also known as ADP-ribosyl cyclase, is a Type II integral membrane protein. The enzyme is able to transform NAD(P)+ into three different products with calcium mobilizing ability, cyclic ADP-ribose, NAADP+, and ADP-ribose (1). CD38 is expressed in B and T lymphocytes, osteoclasts, and in cardiac, pancreatic, liver and kidney cells (2, 3). Through its production of cyclic ADP-ribose, CD38 modulates calcium-mediated signal transduction in many types of cells, including neutrophils and pancreatic beta cells (4, 5).

Protocols
View specific protocols for Recombinant Human CD38 Protein, CF (2404-AC):
Materials
- Assay Buffer: 50 mM MES, pH 6.5
- Recombinant Human CD38 (rhCD38) (Catalog # 2404-AC)
- Substrate: NGD+ (Sigma, Catalog # N-5131), 10 mM stock in deionized water
- F16 Black Maxisorp Plate (Nunc, Catalog # 475515)
- Fluorescent Plate Reader (Model: SpectraMax Gemini EM by Molecular Devices) or equivalent
- Dilute rhCD38 to 2 ng/µL in Assay Buffer.
- Dilute Substrate to 200 µM in Assay Buffer.
- Load in plate, 50 µL of 2 ng/µL rhCD38, and start the reaction by adding 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate. Include a Substrate Blank containing 50 µL Assay Buffer and 50 µL of 200 µM Substrate.
- Read at excitation and emission wavelengths of 300 nm and 410 nm (top read), respectively in kinetic mode for 5 minutes.
- Calculate specific activity:
|
Specific Activity (pmol/min/µg) = |
Adjusted Vmax* (RFU/min) x Conversion Factor** (pmol/RFU) |
| amount of enzyme (µg) |
*Adjusted for Substrate Blank
**Derived using calibration standard cyclic GDP ribose (cGDPR).
- rhCD38: 0.1 µg
- Substrate: 100 µM
