Description
PerCP/Cyanine5.5 anti-mouse Granzyme C. Granzyme C is a serine protease that is found in the granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells (NKs). It induces the apoptosis of target cells by the externalization of phosphatidylserine, nuclear condensation and collapse, as well as the introduction of single-stranded DNA nicks. It can also induce apoptosis via mitochondrial swelling, which results in the loss of membrane potential. Reported studies show that granzyme C can support CTL-mediated killing in the absence of granzyme A or B. Additionally, wild-type mice have delayed upregulation of granzyme C relative to granzyme B and a mutation in the granzyme B gene shows earlier upregulation of granzyme C. Further studies show that in the event that granzyme B fails, the mouse models infected with persistent viruses have delayed expression of protection provided by granzyme C.
