CD157 is a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchored membrane protein that belongs to the CD38 family. CD157 was discovered in a bone marrow stromal cell line where it facilitates preBcell growth. Along with CD38, CD157 is a bifunctional ectoenzyme that exhibits both ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase activities. It may play a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to its enhanced expression in RA-derived bone marrow stromal cell lines. CD157 has been predicted to function as a cell surface receptor and an immunoregulatory molecule. CD157 was originally identified as a bone marrow stromal cell molecule (BST-1) with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor to bind to the cell surface. CD157 is prevalently expressed by cells of the myeloid lineage. CD157 could act as a receptor with signal transduction capability. Further, it regulates calcium homeostasis and promotes polarization in neutrophils and mediates superoxide (O2?) production in the human U937 myeloid line.
Recombinant Mouse CD157 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala25-Glu285 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
