Granzyme M Mouse anti-Human, PE, Clone: 4B2G4, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: Granzyme M is one of five granzyme serine proteases that have been identified in humans. These proteins are expressed in the granules of NK cells and cytotoxic T cells, and are critical for the induction of target cell apoptosis through the cleavage of intracellular substrates. Although not as well characterized as some of the other family members, Granzyme M has been found to exhibit some distinct functions. These include the non-cytotoxic inhibition of cytomegalovirus replication, induction of apoptosis in tumor cells, and contribution to the TLR4-induced inflammatory process. Applications Reported: This 4B2G4 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 4B2G4 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells using the Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set (Product # 88-8824-00) and protocol. Please refer to 'Staining Intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry, Protocol A: Two step protocol for intracellular (cytoplasmic) proteins' located at Flow Protocols. This may be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser

Cleaves peptide substrates after methionine, leucine, and norleucine. Physiological substrates include EZR, alpha- tubulins and the apoptosis inhibitor BIRC5/Survivin. Promotes caspase activation and subsequent apoptosis of target cells.
