Description

Granzyme B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GZMB gene.

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells share the remarkable ability to recognize specific infected target cells. They are thought to protect their host by inducing apoptosis, bearing on their surface 'nonself' antigens, usually peptides or proteins resulting from infection by intracellular pathogens. The protein encoded by this gene is crucial for the rapid induction of target cell apoptosis by CTL in cell-mediated immune response Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
