CD38 is a 45kD type II transmembrane glycoprotein, also known as T10. It is an ADP-ribosyl hydrolase, expressed at variable levels on hematopoietic cells and in some non-hematopoietic tissues (such as brain, muscles, and kidney). In humans, it is expressed at high levels on plasma cells and activated T and B cells. By functioning as both a cyclase and a hydrolase, CD38 mediates lymphocyte activation, as well as adhesion and the metabolism of cADPR and NAADP. CD31 is the ligand of CD38.
