Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * GZMA is a secreted protein that is expressed in high levels in NKp46-positive innate lymphoid cell, human, intraepithelial lymphocyte, mature gamma-delta T cell, decidual natural killer cell, human, mature T cell, CD8-positive, alpha-beta memory T cell, CD45RO-positive, effector memory CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell, terminally differentiated, CD8-positive, alpha-beta cytokine secreting effector T cell, CD8-positive, alpha-beta thymocyte. * It is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 125 kDa. * It is a key effector of NKp46 cells and is involved in the regulation of innate immunity. **Pathways and functions:** * GZMA is a key effector of NKp46 cells and is involved in the regulation of innate immunity. * It is expressed in high levels in NKp46-positive innate lymphoid cells, which are the first cells to respond to infection. * GZMA is also expressed in other immune cells, including macrophages and dendritic cells, where it exerts its cytotoxic effects. * It is involved in the activation of macrophages and dendritic cells, promoting the production of inflammatory cytokines. * It is also involved in the regulation of T cell responses, promoting the activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and the regulation of immune responses to pathogens. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the GZMA gene have been linked to human diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. * Targeting GZMA with antibodies or small molecules is a potential therapeutic strategy for these diseases.
