| GO term: | activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signaling pathway |
| Synonym: | activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signalling pathway |
| Synonym: | activation of initiator caspase activity |
| GO id: | GO:0097296 |
| Definition: | Any process that initiates the activity of an inactive cysteine-type endopeptidase involved in the apoptotic signaling pathway. |
| Comments | Note that this term should only be used to annotate gene products directly involved in the initiation or start up of an inactive cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in the apoptotic signaling pathway (also known as an initiator caspase). If the evidence provided is not sufficient to account for direct activation of this enzymatic activity, consider using the more generic terms GO:2001269 positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signaling pathway or GO:0043280 positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process. |
