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 StarBright Blue 810
StarBright Blue 810 (SBB810) Dye is a bright, 488 nm laser excitable dye with a unique narrow excitation and emission profile and is suitable for conventional and full spectrum flow cytometry. It is brighter than PE-Cy7 when excited by the 488 nm laser. As it is not a traditional tandem dye, SBB810 does not have issues around tandem breakdown and changes to staining over time and exhibits reduced excitation by the 561 nm laser compared to PE tandem dyes. SBB810 provides more choice and flexibility when building multicolor panels incorporating the 488 nm laser.
