Impaired learning and memory in CD38 null mutant mice [PDF]
CD38 is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of cyclic ADP ribose and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate, both of which are involved in the mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores.

Inhibition of ADP-ribosyl cyclase attenuates angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy [PDF]
Here, we report the discovery of a small molecule inhibitor, 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene (DAB), of ADP ribosyl cyclase (ADPR-cyclase) and showed that this inhibitor attenuated angiotensin (Ang) II-induced hypertrophic responses.and results The intracellular concentration of free Ca(2+) [Ca(2+)](i) in adult rat cardiomyocytes was measured by using a ...

CD38/cADPR Signaling Pathway in Airway Disease: Regulatory Mechanisms
Asthma is an inflammatory disease in which proinflammatory cytokines have a role in inducing abnormalities of airway smooth muscle function and in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness.

CD157, known as bone marrow stromal cell antigen-1, is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ADP-ribosyl cyclase that supports the survival and function of B-lymphocytes and hematopoietic or intestinal stem cells. Although CD157/Bst1 is a risk locus in

Purification and characterization of CD38/ADP‐ribosyl cyclase from rat lung [PDF]
AbstractPurification and characterization of CD38/ADP‐ribosyl cyctase in the rat lung tissue was performed with microsomes solubilized in Triton X‐100 and the ADP‐ribosyl cyclase was then purified using sequential column chromatography. Partially purified rat lung ADP‐ribosyl cyclase was analyzed by immunoblotting using an antibody raised against a ...

Design, synthesis and biological characterization of novel inhibitors of CD38 [PDF]
Human CD38 is a novel multi-functional protein that acts not only as an antigen for B-lymphocyte activation, but also as an enzyme catalyzing the synthesis of a Ca 2+ messenger molecule, cyclic ADP-ribose, from NAD +.

Channelling of substrate promiscuity of the skeletal-muscle ADP-ribosyl cyclase isoform. [PDF]
The novel Ca2+-mobilizing second messengers cADPr (cyclic ADP-ribose) and NAADP (nicotinic acid–adenine dinucleotide phosphate) are both synthesized by ADP-ribosyl cyclases. Using HSR (heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum) fractions from rabbit skeletal muscle, NAADP-induced Ca2+ release was observed.

Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.

The ADP-ribosyl cyclases - the current evolutionary state of the ARCs [PDF]
The major ADP-ribosylating enzyme families are the focus of this special issue of Frontiers in Bioscience . However, there is room for another family of enzymes with the capacity to utilize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD): the ADP-ribosyl cyclases (ARCs).
