The purified antibody was conjugated under optimal conditions, with unreacted dye removed from the preparation. Background Cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase 1 (CD38) is a transmembrane protein involved in several important biological processes, including immune response, insulin secretion, and social behavior. Originally described as a glycosylated immune cell surface marker, additional research determined that CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) from NAD (1,2). Under acidic conditions, CD38 also catalyzes the synthesis of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) from NADP . Both cADPR and NAADP act as calcium ion mobilizing messengers that target different intracellular Ca stores (3-6). Since CD38 is the primary mammalian NAD glycohydrolase responsible for NAD metabolism, CD38 may be a valuable therapeutic target for treatment of metabolic diseases regulated by NAD -dependent pathways (7,8). CD38 has also been considered a possible therapeutic target for antibody-mediated therapy for myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (9-11).
