Interpolated concentrations of human Granzyme K in unstimulated and stimulated PBMC supernatant

Interpolated concentration of native Granzyme K was measured in duplicate at different sample concentrations. Undiluted samples are 100% unstimulated PBMC cell culture supernatant and stimulated PBMC cell culture supernatant (treated with 1.5% PHA-M for 46 hrs). The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). Sample dilutions are made in Sample Diluent NS

Product details

Human Granzyme K ELISA Kit ab314368 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human Granzyme K in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 6.1 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human Granzyme K SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Supplementary information

Granzyme K also known as protein K or 24c3 is a serine protease with a mass of approximately 27 kilodaltons. It belongs to the granzyme family of proteins which are mainly found within the cytotoxic granules of natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). These immune cells store granzyme K in their granules which they release to induce apoptosis in target cells. Researchers have identified granzyme K expression in various tissues and immune cells highlighting its widespread role in modulating immune responses.
Biological function summary

Granzyme K serves as a potent mediator in the immune system by inducing apoptosis in target cells. It does not act alone but rather in concert with other granzymes and proteins to effectively execute cell death. Granzyme K can degrade cellular proteins once introduced into a target cell's cytoplasm leading to apoptosis. The protease functions independently and does not require a complex for its activity contributing to the immune system's ability to eliminate infected or transformed cells.

Pathways

The granzyme K protein exists within essential immune regulatory pathways such as the cytotoxic T lymphocyte-induced apoptosis pathway and the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway. Granzyme K acts alongside granzymes A and B to promote programmed cell death and finely tune host immune responses. While granzymes A and B have more defined roles granzyme K complements their activity offering redundancy and ensuring efficient elimination of harmful target cells.

Granzyme K shows significant connections to inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated granzyme K levels in these diseases may result from dysregulated immune responses leading to excessive tissue damage. In autoimmune disorders granzyme K works in combination with proteins like perforin which facilitates entry of granzymes into the cell to stimulate apoptosis. Understanding granzyme K's role in these conditions may help develop therapeutic approaches to modulate immune activity and minimize tissue damage.

Target data

Serine protease that initiates the GZMK pathway of the complement system, a cascade of proteins directly activated by CD8(+) T-cells that leads to phagocytosis and breakdown of pathogens and signaling that strengthens the adaptive immune system (PubMed : 3262682, PubMed : 39814882, PubMed : 39914456). GZMK is specifically secreted by CD8(+) T-cells and mediates both recognition and initiation steps of GZMK complement pathway (PubMed : 39914456). First acts as a pattern recognition receptor, which specifically recognizes and binds heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans on the pathogen surface to drive opsonization (PubMed : 39914456). It then initiates the complement pathway cascade by catalyzing cleavage and activation of C2 and C4, the next components of the complement pathway (PubMed : 39814882, PubMed : 39914456). GZMK-mediated complement activation is an important contributor to tissue inflammation (PubMed : 24711407, PubMed : 33271118, PubMed : 35704599, PubMed : 39614076, PubMed : 39814882, PubMed : 39914456). Also able to cleave and activate F2R/PAR1 and PAR2/F2RL1, possibly promoting interleukin release (PubMed : 21760880, PubMed : 26936634, PubMed : 35881628). May also regulate apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage and activation of BID, thereby promoting cytochrome C release from mitochrondria (PubMed : 17308307).
