Gene: Cd38
Official Full Name: CD38 antigenprovided by MGI
Gene Summary: This gene encodes 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. Knockout mice deficient for this gene display altered humoral immune responses. In addition, knockout mice exhibit higher locomotor activity and defects in nurturing and social behaviors.

Cd38 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines in which the Cd38 gene has been selectively disrupted, allowing researchers to study the biological ramifications of Cd38 deficiency. This gene encodes for a NAD+-glycohydrolase involved in various cellular processes, including signaling pathways, immune response modulation, and regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation. The knockout of Cd38 provides a powerful tool for dissecting its role in these processes by enabling researchers to observe resulting phenotypes and functional consequences in a controlled setting.
The primary mechanism of action involves the complete inactivation of the Cd38 gene, which results in the knockout cell lines lacking the specific enzyme product. As a result, these cell lines demonstrate altered calcium signaling and reduced production of cyclic ADP-ribose, thus affecting various downstream processes. This unique functionality allows scientists to investigate the role of CD38 in immune responses, metabolic disorders, and certain malignancies, providing insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
Scientifically, Cd38 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are invaluable for basic and applied research, including studies on immune system function and the role of NAD+ metabolism in aging and chronic diseases. In clinical research settings, understanding the implications of Cd38 deficiency has the potential to inform treatments for a range of conditions, from autoimmune diseases to cancer, enhancing therapeutic approaches through targeted interventions.
Comparatively, these knockout cell lines offer distinct advantages over traditional wild-type models by providing precise genetic alterations that reveal specific gene functions without the confounding effects of functional redundancy. While other methods, such as RNA interference, can achieve transient knockdown, our genetically stable knockout lines facilitate long-term studies with more reliable and reproducible results.
For researchers and clinicians, integrating Cd38 Gene Knockout Cell Lines into experimental designs promises to streamline investigations into cellular mechanisms and disease pathology, ultimately accelerating the path to novel therapeutic discoveries. Our commitment to excellence is backed by our expertise in genetic engineering and a proven track record in providing high-quality biological products tailored for advancing scientific research.
