Biochem/physiol Actions: Granzyme B (GzmB) is a serine protease which is stored in granules of activated cytotoxic T cells and NK cells.-á After contact with target cells, granzyme B is directionally exocytosed, and then enters the target cell with assistance from perforin.-á Granzyme B specifically cleaves after Asp residues, and particularly processes and activates various pro-caspases.-á This induces apoptosis in the target cell.
