DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Granzyme B; EC=3.4.21.79; AltName: Full=C11; AltName: Full=CTLA-1; AltName: Full=Cathepsin G-like 1; Short=CTSGL1; AltName: Full=Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte proteinase 2; Short=Lymphocyte protease; AltName: Full=Fragmentin-2; AltName: Full=Granzyme-2; AltName: Full=Human lymphocyte protein; Short=HLP; AltName: Full=SECT; AltName: Full=T-cell serine protease 1-3E; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: This enzyme is necessary for target cell lysis in cell- mediated immune responses. It cleaves after Asp. Seems to be linked to an activation cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) responsible for apoptosis execution. Cleaves caspase-3, -7, -9 and 10 to give rise to active enzymes mediating apoptosis.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Preferential cleavage: -Asp-|-Xaa- >> -Asn-|- Xaa- > -Met-|-Xaa-, -Ser-|-Xaa-.ENZYME REGULATION: Inactivated by the serine protease inhibitor diisopropylfluorophosphate.INTERACTION: P14222:PRF1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-2505785, EBI-724466; P10124:SRGN; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-2505785, EBI-744915;SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasmic granule. Note=Cytoplasmic granules of cytolytic T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells.INDUCTION: By staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) in peripheral blood leukocytes.SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Granzyme subfamily.SIMILARITY: Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.

mRNA Secondary Structure of 3' and 5' UTRs
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on P10144
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
