CD38 Antibody, anti-human, PE,

Detection of CD38+ cellsClone REAL719 is an antibody fragment derived from the full CD38 antibody molecule. It displays no binding to Fc receptors. The recombinantly engineered antibody fragments are multimerized to form the REAdye_lease Complex to bind markers with high avidity. | Clone REAL719 recognizes the human CD38 antigen, a single-chain type II transmembrane glycoprotein with enzymatic activity. It is present on the majority of hematopoietic cells, prevalent during early differentiation and activation processes. Terminally differentiated B cells (plasma cells) express CD38 brightly. Furthermore, CD38 is constitutively expressed in several tissues, for example brain, muscle, and kidney. CD38, a disease marker for human leukemias and myelomas, plays a role in the pathogenesis and outcome of human immunodeficiency virus infection and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and controls insulin release and also the development of diabetes. Furthermore it catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD+ to ADP-ribose which is essential for the regulation of intracellular Ca2+. | For removal of REAdye_lease fluorochromes for optional relabeling with different fluorochrome-conjugated REAdye_lease antibodies use the REAlease Support Kit (130-120-675).
