Granzyme M: Lysates

The GZMM gene encodes a 257 amino acid long, 27 kDA granzyme M protein that cleaves peptide substrates after methionine, leucine, and norleucine. In doing so, it encourages caspase activation and apoptosis of target cells. GZMM has been investigated for its role in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia as it participates in the immune system, alternative complement activation, and granzyme pathways. It is known to interact with genes CASP3, DFFA, EZR, NPM1, and PAK2.
