About GZMK

Cytogenetic location: 5q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:55,024,256-55,034,570 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 116 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 65.9), spleen (RPKM 22.6) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

This gene product is a member of a group of related serine proteases from the cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells share the remarkable ability to recognize, bind, and lyse specific target cells. They are thought to protect their host by lysing cells bearing on their surface 'nonself' antigens, usually Peptides or proteins resulting from Infection by intracellular pathogens. The protein described here lacks consensus sequences for N-glycosylation present in other granzymes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
