title: Human CD38: a glycoprotein in search of a function.
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.
