Products from BPS Bioscience require a minimum order value above 400€
Applications: Great for studying enzyme kinetics and screening small molecular inhibitors for drug discovery and HTS applications.
Background: CD38, a differentiation antigen of B lymphocytes, is a type II integral membrane protein. It is also known as ADP-ribosyl cyclase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) glycohydrolase. Through its production of cyclic ADP-ribose, CD38 modulates calcium-mediated signal transduction in various cells, including pancreatic B cells. CD38 is a prognostic biomarker for acute B lymphoblastic leukemia.
Description: The CD38 Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit (Cyclase Activity) is designed to measure the cyclase activity of CD38 for screening and profiling applications. The CD38 assay kit comes in a convenient 96-well format, with purified recombinant CD38 enzyme, its substrate nicotinamide guanine dinucleotide (NGD+), and CD38 assay buffer for 100 enzyme reactions. In addition, the kit includes the CD38 inhibitor quercitin for use as an inhibitor control.
Storage Stability: Up to 6 months from date of receipt, when stored as recommended.
Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
