| GO term: | activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process |
| Synonym: | activation of caspase activity |
| Synonym: | activation of metacaspase activity |
| Synonym: | caspase activation |
| GO id: | GO:0006919 |
| Definition: | Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme cysteine-type endopeptidase in the context of an apoptotic process. |
| Comments | This term should be used when the annotation refers to a process that occurs in a context of apoptotic cell death. To annotate gene products involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidases in other cellular process (e.g., cell cycle arrest) that do not necessarily develop into an apoptotic process, please use the more general parent term GO:0097202. |
