  • immunological synapse
  • basic FUNCTION
  • being necessary for target cell lysis in cell-mediated immune responses
  • producing cleavage after Lys or Arg
  • may be involved in apoptosis
  • acting as a lymphocyte tryptase
  • acting as a serine protease
  • critical role for GZMA and GZMB in dictating immunogenicity by influencing the mode of tumor cell death, indicating that granzymes contribute to the efficient generation of immune effector pathways in addition to their well-known role in apoptosis induction
