Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** GZMM is a serine protease that belongs to the granzyme family, which also includes granzyme A and granzyme B. It is primarily expressed in mature T cells, NK cells, and other immune cells, such as gamma-delta T cells and double-negative T regulatory cells. GZMM is characterized by its ability to induce apoptosis in target cells by cleaving specific cellular substrates, including caspase-8, caspase-9, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The protease also exhibits specificity for certain cellular substrates, including the tumor suppressor protein p53. **Pathways and Functions:** GZMM is involved in several key pathways that regulate immune responses, including: 1. **Apoptotic process:** GZMM induces apoptosis in target cells by cleaving specific cellular substrates, leading to the activation of caspase-8 and caspase-9, which ultimately result in the activation of the caspase cascade and the execution of cell death. 2. **Cytotoxic T cell and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity:** GZMM is a key component of the cytotoxic granules of T cells and NK cells, where it is released upon activation and induces apoptosis in target cells. 3. **Immune system regulation:** GZMM plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses by eliminating infected cells or tumor cells, thereby preventing the spread of disease. **Clinical Significance:** GZMM has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** GZMM has been shown to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, and lung cancer. This overexpression is associated with poor prognosis and increased tumor aggressiveness. 2. **Autoimmune diseases:** GZMM has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, where it is thought to contribute to tissue damage and inflammation. 3. **Infectious diseases:** GZMM has been shown to play a role in the clearance of infected cells in certain infectious diseases, such as HIV and herpes simplex virus. In conclusion, GZMM is a critical component of the immune system, playing a key role in regulating immune responses and eliminating infected cells or tumor cells. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the importance of further research into the mechanisms of GZMM and its potential as a therapeutic target. **References:** * [Insert relevant references] **Note:** This review is a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of GZMM and its role in the immune system. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the mechanisms of GZMM and its potential as a therapeutic target.
