General annotation (Comments)

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.

Catalytic activity

Hydrolysis of proteins, including fibronectin, type IV collagen and nucleolin. Preferential cleavage: -Arg-|-Xaa-, -Lys-|-Xaa- >> -Phe-|-Xaa- in small molecule substrates.

Subunit structure

Homodimer; disulfide-linked.

Subcellular location

Secreted. Cytoplasmic granule.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Granzyme subfamily.

Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.
