Description
CD38 (cluster of differentiation 38) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of many immune cells (white blood cells), including CD4+, CD8+, B and natural killer cells. It is a marker of cell activation. The CD38 protein has been connected to HIV infection, leukemias, myelomas, solid tumors, type II diabetes mellitus and bone metabolism, as well as some genetically determined conditions. It has also been used as a prognostic marker in leukemia.
The gene encoding for CD38 is located on chromosome 4.
CD38 is a novel multifunctional ectoenzyme widely expressed in cells and tissues especially in leukocytes. CD38 also functions in cell adhesion, signal transduction and calcium signaling.
CD34 is found on hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) as well as many of the more differentiated cells that CD38 is found on, so one method for isolating HSC cells is by selecting for cells that express CD34 but do not express CD38.
