Application Note
GZMM (Granzyme M) is one of the neutral serine proteases, which is specifically expressed by NK cells and mediates a novel major and perforin-dependent cell death pathway. Granzyme M has been proven to targets α-Tubulin and disorganizes the microtuble network, besides, Ezrin has also been identified as a substrate of GZMM. Therefore, a catalytic assay was conducted to detect the protease activity of recombinant human GZMM using Hela cells lysates. Briefly, protein lysates were extracted from 2×107 Hela cells using Lysis Buffer, then incubated with normal or inactivated GZMM in 37ºC for 4h. Samples were immunoblotted using Abs β-actin as control, and Ezrin to detect the enzyme activity. And the recombinant human GZMM cleaved Ezrin.

Background
Human natural killer (NK) cells and activated lymphocytes express and store a distinct subset of neutral serine proteases together with proteoglycans and other immune effector molecules in large cytoplasmic granules. These serine proteases are collectively termed granzymes and include 4 distinct gene products: granzyme A, granzyme B, granzyme H, and the protein encoded by this gene, granzyme M. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
