Prf1 Background

The PRF1 gene encodes perforin[1][2]. Perforin is found in immune cells (lymphocytes) called T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, which destroy other cells. Perforin is involved in the process of cell destruction (cytolysis) and the regulation of the immune system. Perforin is a major component of structures called cytolytic granules within T cells and NK cells. One of the main ways in which T cells and NK cells destroy other cells is to transport and secrete these cytolytic granules, which contain cell-killing proteins, onto the membranes of the target cells.
Perforin helps create a channel through the membrane, allowing cytolytic proteins to enter the cell and trigger it to self-destruct. This cytolytic mechanism also helps regulate the immune system by destroying unneeded T cells. Controlling the number of T cells prevents the overproduction of immune proteins called cytokines that lead to inflammation and, in excess, cause tissue damage. It also can insert into the membrane of target cells in its calcium-bound form, oligomerize and form large pores. Besides, It promotes cytolysis and apoptosis of target cells by facilitating the uptake of cytotoxic granzymes.
