Name | cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process |
ID | GO_0008656 |
collection_id | Molecular function |
Description | Binds to and increases the rate of proteolysis catalyzed by a cysteine-type endopeptidase involved in the apoptotic process. |
Comment | Examples of this are 1) granzymes that may bind to initiator caspases and cleave them, and 2) already active caspases, e.g. caspase 9, that cleave effector caspases. |
