Background
Granzyme B is a serine protease that is expressed in cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells. Vectorial secretion of perforin and granzymes is responsible for their granule-mediated cytotoxicity. Granzyme B plays a pivotal role in the induction of apoptosis in the target cells by activation of caspases. Moreover, granzyme B was reported to cleave directly α-tubulin, leading to perturbation of microtubule networks during the induced cell death.
