About CD38
The protein encoded by this gene is a non-lineage-restricted, type II transmembrane glycoprotein that synthesizes and hydrolyzes cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate-ribose, an intracellular calcium ion mobilizing messenger. The release of soluble protein and the ability of membrane-bound protein to become internalized indicate both extracellular and intracellular functions for the protein. This protein has an N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a single membrane-spanning domain, and a C-terminal extracellular region with four N-glycosylation sites. Crystal structure analysis demonstrates that the functional molecule is a dimer, with the central portion containing the catalytic site. It is used as a prognostic marker for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

About PE-Fire 810
Along with APC/Fire 810™, PE/Fire™ 810 expands the range of spectral detection further than any of our previous fluorophores, emitting even beyond the range of PE/Cyanine7. Optimized for spectral unmixing cytometers, PE/Fire™ 810 is excited by the blue and yellow/green lasers and can utilized for nearly any antigen since it has little spectral overlap with other fluorophores. While we have released several PE tandem options, our data below shows PE/Fire™ 810 can be unmixed from them in a multicolor panel.
