Name
granzyme B
Synonyms
  • C11
  • cathepsin G-like 1
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including granzyme-mediated programmed cell death signaling pathway; natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; and pyroptotic inflammatory response. Located in cytolytic granule. Is active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of COVID-19; bronchiolitis obliterans; and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a member of the granzyme subfamily of proteins, part of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is secreted by natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and proteolytically processed to generate the active protease, which induces target cell apoptosis. This protein also processes cytokines and degrades extracellular matrix proteins, and these roles are implicated in chronic inflammation and wound healing. Expression of this gene may be elevated in human patients with cardiac fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
