Anti-CD157 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:SY11B5)-FITC Conjugated

CD157 (cADPr hydrolase 2) is a GPI-anchored ectoenzyme possessing ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase activity. It uses NAD and cADP-ribose as substrates. CD157 is expressed on granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, follicular dendritic cells, bone marrow stromal cells and human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells. In case of rheumatoid arthritis is expression is often higher and it is also differentially expressed in the myeloid leukemias. It may also have a signaling role. Protein function: Synthesizes the second messagers cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinate-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, the former a second messenger that elicits calcium release from intracellular stores. May be involved in pre-B-cell growth. [The UniProt Consortium]
