title: [Apoptosis induced by granzyme B].
abstract: Results of biochemical studies of apoptosis reactions induced by granzyme B are considered and summarized. Special attention is paid to the reactions of procaspase activation and limited proteolysis of apoptotic targets. Found values of kinetic constants of granzyme B-mediated enzymatic reactions are listed.
