Granzyme B (GZMB) is a serine protease stored in granules of activated cytotoxic T cells and NK cells. Upon target cell contact, granzyme B is directionally exocytosed and enters the target cell, assisted by perforin. With its unique substrate specificity (granzyme B cleaves after Asp), granzyme B processes and activates various pro-caspases thereby inducing apoptosis in the target cell.
Source:
Recombinant corresponding to mouse Granzyme B expressed in insect cells.
Molecular Weight:
~33kD
Biological Activity:
Activity of GZMB was tested using the synthetic peptide, IETD-AFC, as a substrate. GZMB releases AFC and then the GZMB activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC at Ex/Em=380/500nm.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute with ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 6 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
