CD38 is a 45kD type II transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ by synthesizing and hydrolyzing an intracellular calcium ion mobilizing messenger.

CD38 has both extracellular and intracellular functions as indicated by the release of soluble protein and the ability of membrane-bound protein to become internalized.

The functional molecule is a dimer that contains the catalytic site in the central portion, and is involved in both extracellular and intracellular functions.

CD38 plays a role in cell adhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling.

CD38 has been used as a biomarker to measure the progress of a chronic lymphocytic leukemia in patients.

Because CD38 is expressed on mature lymphocytes and lymphoplasmacytic cells, OKT10 can be used to study final B cell maturation.

OKT10 reactivity with CD38 occurs in an inversely proportional relationship to the occurrence of Ia-like antigenic expression.

Hence, these two antigens can be used as reciprocal complementary reactants for the study of mature B cell malignancies, such as CLL, multiple myeloma, and Waldenström malignancy.

Storage and Stability

Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at -80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Formulation

This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
