Human CD38: a glycoprotein in search of a function

Immunol Today. 1994 Mar;15(3):95-7. doi: 10.1016/0167-5699(94)90148-1.

Abstract

The human CD38 molecule appears to mediate several diverse activities, including signal transduction, cell adhesion and cyclic ADP-ribose synthesis. In this article, the authors consolidate the information available on this highly interesting, multifunctional protein.
