| Core Tip |
Granulysin is a cytotoxic granular protein expressed in cytotoxic T cells, natural killer (NK) cells and γδT cells, and has anti-microbial activity against microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria and parasites, as well as tumoricidal activity against some tumors. It is secreted constitutively and in a trigger-dependent manner. Clinically, serum granulysin is a unique biomarker for immune response, immune capacity and NK cell related neoplasms.
