Perforin dapat ditemukan pada [[granula|granul]] [[sel T]] CD8 dan [[sel NK]]. Setelah proses [[degranulasi]], sekresi perforin akan tersisipkan pada [[membran sel]] dan membentuk sebuah lobanglubang. Bagian perforin yang menancap pada membran tersebut adalah domain [[MACPF]].<ref>{{cite journal |author=Tschopp J, Masson D, Stanley KK |title=Structural/functional similarity between proteins involved in complement- and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated cytolysis |journal=Nature |volume=322 |issue=6082 |pages=831–4 |year=1986 |pmid=2427956 |doi=10.1038/322831a0}}</ref>
Perforin bersinergi dengan ''membrane-attack complex'' (MAC) yang dilakukan protein [[komplemen]] seperti [[C5a]] dan [[C5b]].<ref>{{en}} {{cite book
