INTRODUCTION
GZMK is a part of a group of related serine proteases from the cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Cytolytic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells have the outstanding ability to bind, recognize and lyse specific target cells. They defend their host by lysing cells bearing on their surface 'nonself' antigens, usually peptides or proteins resulting from infection by intracellular pathogens.
DESCRIPTION
GZMK Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 247 amino acids (27-264) and having a molecular mass of 26.9kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa). GZMK is fused to a 6 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
