The CD38 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit (Cyclase Activity) is designed to measure the cyclase activity of CD38 for screening and profiling applications. The CD38 assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with purified recombinant CD38 enzyme, its substrate nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD+), and CD38 assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions. In addition, the kit includes the CD38 inhibitor quercetin for use as a positive control.
CD38, a differentiation antigen of B lymphocytes, is a type II integral membrane protein. It is also known as ADP-ribosyl cyclase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) glycohydrolase. Through its production of cyclic ADP-ribose, CD38 modulates calcium-mediated signal transduction in various cells, including pancreatic B cells. CD38 is a prognostic biomarker for acute B lymphoblastic leukemia.
