Anti-Perforin antibody,Abcam,AB97305

Target data Pore-forming protein that plays a key role in granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells (PubMed : 20889983, PubMed : 21037563, PubMed : 24558045, PubMed : 9058810, PubMed : 9164947). Plays an important role in killing other cells that are recognized as non-self by the immune system, e.g. in transplant rejection or some forms of autoimmune disease (PubMed : 9058810). Can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores (PubMed : 20889983, PubMed : 21037563). Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by mediating the passage and uptake of cytotoxic granzymes (PubMed : 20038786, PubMed : 20225066, PubMed : 24558045, PubMed : 32299851). Facilitates the delivery of cationic cargo protein, while anionic or neural proteins are not delivered efficiently (PubMed : 24558045). Perforin pores allow the release of mature caspase-7 (CASP7) into the extracellular milieu (By similarity). See full target information PRF1
