Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity and wide pore channel activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to tumor cell; granzyme-mediated programmed cell death signaling pathway; and protein transport. Located in cytolytic granule and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is active in immunological synapse. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; skin; and spleen. Used to study familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 2; multiple sclerosis; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Crohn's disease; familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 2; human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; multiple sclerosis; and non-Langerhans-cell histiocytosis. Orthologous to human PRF1 (perforin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

CD8 T cell-derived perforin is detrimental to spinal cord injury recovery in the mouse model. Mechanistically, this effect occurs because perforin increases blood-spinal cord barrier permeability, causing inflammatory cells and related cytokines to infiltrate and disrupt the nervous system.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
