General description

Recombinant, human granzyme B expressed in E. coli. Granzyme B (GzmB) is a serine protease that is involved in cytotoxic T lymphocyte-induced (CTL) cell death. It is reported to participate in the perforation of target cells and initiation of proteolysis that leads apoptosis. Similar to caspases, granzyme B preferentially cleaves substrate proteins with aspartic acid in the P1 position.
Recombinant, human granzyme B expressed in E. coli. Granzyme B (GzmB) is a serine protease that is used by activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) to induce target cell apoptosis. It is involved in the perforation of target cells and initiation of proteolysis that leads the cell into the apoptosis pathway.

Application

Granzymes are granule-stored lymphocyte serine proteases that are implicated in T- and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxic defense reactions after target cell recognition. A fifth human granzyme (granzyme 3, lymphocyte tryptase-2), renamed as granzyme K (gene name GZMK), has recently been

Granzyme B is a protease involved in the induction of rapid target cell death by cytotoxic lymphocytes. Definition of the substrate specificity of granzyme B allows for the identification of in vivo substrates in this process. By using the combinatorial
