Anti-Human Granulysin PE

Description: The eBioDH2 monoclonal antibody reacts with human granulysin, a protein involved in the cytolytic pathway. Granulysin is a member of the saposin-like protein (SAPLIP) family. Two proteins 9 and 15kDa are thought to be post translation modified versions of the 15kDa protein with a change in confirmation. Granulysin is found in NK and activated T cells and the expression is confined to the cytolytic granules which also contains perforin and granzyme. Granulysin with perforn are suspected to function synergistically to kill bacteria and induce apoptosis in nucleated cells.
