Anti-Granzyme B antibody,Abcam,AB53097

Target data Abundant protease in the cytosolic granules of cytotoxic T-cells and NK-cells which activates caspase-independent pyroptosis when delivered into the target cell through the immunological synapse (PubMed : 1985927, PubMed : 3262682, PubMed : 3263427). It cleaves after Asp (PubMed : 1985927, PubMed : 8258716). Once delivered into the target cell, acts by catalyzing cleavage of gasdermin-E (GSDME), releasing the pore-forming moiety of GSDME, thereby triggering pyroptosis and target cell death (PubMed : 31953257, PubMed : 32188940). Seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves caspase-3, -9 and -10 (CASP3, CASP9 and CASP10, respectively) to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis (PubMed : 9852092). Cleaves and activates CASP7 in response to bacterial infection, promoting plasma membrane repair (By similarity). See full target information GZMB
