Definition
OBSOLETE. Upregulation of the activity of a caspase, a group of cysteine proteases involved in apoptosis, by the addition of a phosphate group. Source: GOC:dph, GOC:tb, GOC:jl, PMID:14744432, Wikipedia:Caspase
Comment
This term was made obsolete because it is ill-defined: phosphorylation regulates the activity of caspases, but it doesn't activate them (caspases are only activated upon cleavage).
