SmNACE is a NAD catabolizing enzyme expressed on the outer tegument of S.
The blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni is the causative agent of the intestinal form of schistosomiasis (or bilharzia).
Bovine CD38/NAD+ glycohydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of NAD+ to nicotinamide and ADP-ribose and the formation of cyclic ADP-ribose via a stepwise reaction mechanism.
Schistosoma mansoni NAD+ catabolizing enzyme (SmNACE), a distant homolog of mammalian CD38, shows significant structural and functional analogy to the members of the …
Bovine CD38/NAD+glycohydrolase (bCD38) catalyses the hydrolysis of NAD+ into nicotinamide and ADP-ribose and the formation of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR).
CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme which is ubiquitously distributed in mammalian tissues.
Schistosomiasis is a major tropical parasitic disease.
Schistosoma mansoni NAD(P)+ catabolizing enzyme (SmNACE) is a new member of the ADP-ribosyl cyclase family.
ADP-ribosyl cyclases are structurally conserved enzymes that are best known for catalyzing the production of the calcium-mobilizing metabolite, cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose …
