Gene Name GZMB
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in serine-type endopeptidase activity
Specific Function This enzyme is necessary for target cell lysis in cell- mediated immune responses. It cleaves after Asp. Seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves caspase-3, -7, -9 and 10 to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis
