Function

Serine protease that initiates the GZMK pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins directly activated by CD8(+) T-cells that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system. GZMK is specifically secreted by CD8(+) T-cells and mediates both recognition and initiation steps of GZMK complement pathway. First acts as a pattern recognition receptor, which specifically recognizes and binds heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans on the pathogen surface to drive opsonization.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted; Cell surface; Cytoplasmic granule
Tissue Specificity: Specifically expressed by CD8(+) T-cells

Protein Biology

Function

Serine protease that initiates the GZMK pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins directly activated by CD8(+) T-cells that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system (PubMed:3262682, PubMed:39814882, PubMed:39914456). GZMK is specifically secreted by CD8(+) T-cells and mediates both recognition and initiation steps of GZMK complement pathway (PubMed:39914456). First acts as a pattern recognition receptor, which specifically recognizes and binds heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans on the pathogen surface to drive opsonization (PubMed:39914456). It then initiates the complement pathway cascade by catalyzing cleavage and activation of C2 and C4, the next components of the complement pathway (PubMed:39814882, PubMed:39914456). GZMK-mediated complement activation is an important contributor to tissue inflammation (PubMed:24711407, PubMed:33271118, PubMed:35704599, PubMed:39614076, PubMed:39814882, PubMed:39914456). Also able to cleave and activate F2R/PAR1 and PAR2/F2RL1, possibly promoting interleukin release (PubMed:21760880, PubMed:26936634, PubMed:35881628). May also regulate apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage and activation of BID, thereby promoting cytochrome C release from mitochrondria (PubMed:17308307)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
