cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process GO_0008656
cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process
ID: GO_0008656
Class
Binds to and increases the rate of proteolysis catalyzed by a cysteine-type endopeptidase involved in the apoptotic process.
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.
