Granzyme A (GZMA, Granzyme-1, CTL Tryptase, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated Serine Esterase 3, CTLA3, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Proteinase 1, Fragmentin-1, Hanukkah Factor, H Factor, HF, HFSP)

Granzyme A is a member of the granzyme family of the serine proteases found specifically in the cytotoxic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. Granzyme A is the most abundant protease in CTL and NK cells. It induces caspase-independent cell death when introduced into target cells by perforin. Human granzyme A is synthesized as a 262aa precursor with a signal peptide aa1-6, a propeptide aa27-28 and a mature chain aa29-262. After being activated by lysyl endopeptidase removal of the propeptide, Granzyme A cleaves thioester substrates. Mature human granzyme A shares 71% aa sequence identity with mouse granzyme A.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Immunocytochemistry.
