EXPRESSION

UNIPROT
LITERATURE
CD4+ T cells hardly express GrM (only 4%). GrM protein expression is absent in non-T non-natural killer cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
granzyme M is expressed by lymphocytes of both the innate and adaptive immune system: high expression by natural killer cells, natural killer T cells, and gammadelta T cells (70-80% of cells). CD8+ T cells also express GrM (ca. 50% of cells) and comparing the naive to early effector-memory, to late effectormemory, to effector subset, this expression gradually increases during differentiation (in particular by the differentiated effector CD27- CD45RO- subset). GrM is usually co-expressed with perforin (ca. 60% of cells). In CD8+ T cells, about 90% of GrM positive cells also express GrB
GrM protein expression by lymphocyte populations is not significantly affected by a panel of GrB-inducing cytokines
GrzM is exclusively expressed by natural killer cells
