An antagonist of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), and an endogenous metabolite of β-NAD+. cADPR has been shown to regulate calcium release from the endoplasmic and sarcoplasmic reticulum. In cells, cADPR is synthesized by ADP-ribosyl cyclase or CD38, a lymphocyte differentiation antigen.

Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), an endogenous metabolite of beta-NAD+, activates Ca2+ release from endoplasmic reticulum in sea urchin eggs via the ryanodine receptor (RyR) pathway. A similar role has been proposed in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), although this remains controversial. We

Little is known about the effects of nitric oxide (NO) and the cyclic GMP (cGMP)/protein kinase G (PKG) system on Ca(2+) signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of resistance vessels in general and afferent arterioles in particular. We tested
Although it is becoming widely accepted that cADP-ribose (cADPR) can regulate calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum in sea urchin eggs and in a variety of mammalian cell types, it remains controversial whether this substance might influence calcium release during

Mobilization of internal Ca+2 is an important signaling mechanism in cells. In addition to the inositol trisphosphate pathway, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NAADP) have been shown to mobilize Ca+2 via independent mechanisms. Although the structures of

CD38 was first identified as a lymphocyte differentiation antigen that showed typical properties of an orphan receptor involved in many programs of cell proliferation and activation. However, CD38 proved also to be a bifunctional ectoenzyme that catalyzes the transient formation
