Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.656.300.760.397; D08.811.277.656.959.350.397
Unique ID: D053804
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053804
Scope Note: A family of serine endopeptidases found in the SECRETORY GRANULES of LEUKOCYTES such as CYTOTOXIC T-LYMPHOCYTES and NATURAL KILLER CELLS. When secreted into the intercellular space granzymes act to eliminate transformed and virus-infected host cells.
