Gene namePRF1
Protein namePerforin 1
Perforin-1 (P1) (Cytolysin) (Lymphocyte pore-forming protein) (PFP)
Perforin
SynonymsPFP
DescriptionFUNCTION: Pore-forming protein that plays a key role in granzyme-mediated programmed cell death, and in defense against virus-infected or neoplastic cells . Plays an important role in killing other cells that are recognized as non-self by the immune system, e.g. in transplant rejection or some forms of autoimmune disease . Can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores . Promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by mediating the passage and uptake of cytotoxic granzymes . Facilitates the delivery of cationic cargo protein, while anionic or neural proteins are not delivered efficiently . Perforin pores allow the release of mature caspase-7 (CASP7) into the extracellular milieu (By similarity). .
