ADP-ribosyl cyclase activity of CD38 in isolated osteoclast plasma membranes. The conversion of the NAD+ surrogate, NGD+, to the nonhydrolyzable fluorescent product, cyclic GDP-ribose (cGDPr) was assessed fluorimetrically (see Materials and Methods for details). Results are expressed as a mean (± SEM) cGDPr formed in nmoles/min/mg isolated plasma membrane protein without treatment (basal) or in the presence of nonimmune mouse serum (IgG5) (NIMS), an antagonist anti-CD38 antibody (Ab; Sigma Chemical Co., 1:500) or NAD+ (400 μM). The asterisks represent significant differences compared with basal (P < 0.05).
