Anti-CD38, clone FS02

0.2 mg/ml with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. This antibody reacts with a type II membrane glycopeptide with a transmembrane sequence near the NH2-terminus. CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is present on early B- and T-cell lineages and activated B- and T-cells but is absent from most mature resting peripheral lymphocytes. CD38 is also found on thymocytes, pre-B cells, germinal center B-cells, mitogen-activated T-cells, monocytes and Ig-secreting plasma cells. CD38 is expressed on CD34+ cells. The CD34+CD38- population of hematopoietic stems cells defines the most pluripotent cells (e.g. blast colony forming cells). Protein function: Synthesizes the second messagers cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinate-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, the former a second messenger for glucose-induced insulin secretion. Also has cADPr hydrolase activity. Also moonlights as a receptor in cells of the immune system. [The UniProt Consortium]
