CD138

Tonsil stained with CD138 antibody

CD138 / syndecan-1 protein backbone is a single chain molecule of 30.5 kDa. Five putative GAG attachment sites exist in the extracellular domain. GAG fine structure appears to reflect the cellular source of the syndecan. Expression of CD138 in human hematopoietic cells is restricted to plasma cells in normal bone marrow. Early B-cell precursors in human bone marrow are CD138 negative. CD138 is also expressed in endothelial cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and normal hepatocytes.
