[[Cluster of Differentiation 38]] (CD38), known also as '''ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1''' (ADPRC1), catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose from NAD+ to ADP-ribose (ADPR). It is found on the surface of immune cells. It also functions in cell adhesion, signal transduction and Ca+2 signaling. '''ADP-ribosyl cyclase''' (ADPRC) is the ''Aplysia californica'' homolog of CD38. It catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose. It uses NAD+ as substrate and produces cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). | [[Cluster of Differentiation 38]] (CD38), known also as '''ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1''' (ADPRC1), catalyzes the synthesis and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose from NAD+ to ADP-ribose (ADPR).
