A single protein immunologically identified as CD38 displays NAD+ glycohydrolase, ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase activities at the outer surface of human erythrocytes

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1993 Nov 15;196(3):1459-65. doi: 10.1006/bbrc.1993.2416.

Abstract

The three ectoenzyme activities, NAD+ glycohydrolase, ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase were purified to homogeneity from solubilized human erythrocyte membranes. The purification procedure involved three sequential chromatography steps on hydroxylapatite, immobilized Cu++ and immobilized anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody resins. The final step yielded a single 46 kDa protein displaying all three enzymatic activities. Since the protein bound specifically to the anti-CD38 resin, it was immunologically identified as CD38, a 46 kDa surface antigen involved in activation and proliferation of lymphocyte populations.
