LITERATURE
physiological function
the enzyme induces cell death primarily via a Bcl-2-sensitive mitochondrial cell death pathway that does not require direct Bid activation, overview. Neither the apoptosome nor caspase-3 is essential to the induction of GrH-mediated cell death. The enzyme might have pro-apoptotic activity that might be distinct from that of granzyme B and FasL, which can be relevant when Fas/FasL or granzyme B activity or death pathways are impaired. Direct processing of DFF45 by the enzyme may be leading to DNA damage. The enzyme inhibits caspase-3 activation
