Polyclonal Antibody for studying Granzyme F mouse. Validated for Western Blotting. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Granzyme F Antibody (CST #16433) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity Granzyme F Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total Granzyme F protein. Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gln197 of mouse Granzyme F protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. Background Granzymes are a family of serine proteases expressed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells and are key components of immune responses to pathogens and transformed cells (1). In mice, ten family members have been identified: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, K, M, and N (2). Granzymes are synthesized as zymogens and are processed into mature enzymes by cleavage of a leader sequence. They are released by exocytosis in lysosome-like granules containing perforin, a membrane pore-forming protein (3). Granzyme F induces a novel cell death pathway consisting of externalization of phosphatidylserine (PS), nuclear condensation, mitochondrial damage, cytochrome c release, single-stranded DNA nicking, and caspase inactivation (4). CTLs from mice with reduced expression of Granzyme F and C display diminished cytotoxicity (5).  Alternate Names AKA granzyme G; C134; CCP; CCP4; Ctl; CTL serine protease 3; Ctla; Ctla-7; Ctla7; Cytotoxic cell protease 4; Cytotoxic serine protease 3; GRAF; Granzyme F; granzyme G; Gzmf; GZMH; MCSP; MCSP-3; MCSP3 Specification REACTIVITY: M SENSITIVITY: Endogenous MW (kDa): 30-40 SOURCE: Rabbit
