The granzyme family of proteins belong to the larger peptidase S1 family. Granzyme A and granzyme B are serine proteases that facilitate apoptotic signaling in cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells. Within the granules of activated CTLs, granzyme A and B are processed and converted to their active forms by the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin C. Once cleaved, these active proteases target distinct substrates for proteolysis and, thereby, mediate apoptosis through two different pathways. Granzyme H localizes to cytoplasmic granules of cytolytic T lymphocytes and is important for target cell lysis in cell-mediated immune responses. Granzyme K (GMZK), also designated granzyme-3 or NK-tryptase-2 (NK-TRYP-2), contains one peptidase S1 domain. Granzyme K is a serine protease localizing to the granules of natural killer cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It is primarily expressed in thymus, lung, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
