Background
Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells share the remarkable ability to recognize, bind, and lyse specific target cells. They are thought to protect their host by lysing cells bearing on their surface 'nonself' antigens, usually peptides or proteins resulting from infection by intracellular pathogens. The protein described here is a T cell- and natural killer cell-specific serine protease that may function as a common component necessary for lysis of target cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells.

Function
catalytic activity:Hydrolysis of proteins, including fibronectin, type IV collagen and nucleolin. Preferential cleavage: -Arg-|-Xaa-, -Lys-|-Xaa- >> -Phe-|-Xaa- in small molecule substrates.,function:This enzyme is necessary for target cell lysis in cell-mediated immune responses. It cleaves after Lys or Arg. May be involved in apoptosis.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Granzyme subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.,subunit:Homodimer; disulfide-linked.,
