Background
CD138, also known as syndecan-1, is a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan that plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. It is predominantly expressed on the surface of plasma cells and certain epithelial cells. In plasma cells, CD138 serves as a valuable marker for their identification and isolation, aiding in the diagnosis and study of plasma cell disorders such as multiple myomael. On epithelial cells, it contributes to the maintenance of cell structure and function by interacting with extracellular matrix components and growth factors. Additionally, CD138 is involved in various biological processes including wound healing, inflammation, and cancer progression. Its ability to bind and modulate the activity of numerous proteins makes it an important factor in cellular communication and regulation.
