Accession
GO:0097199
Name
cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signaling pathway
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signalling pathway, activator caspase activity, apical caspase activity, initiator caspase activity
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of internal, alpha-peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which the sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue at the active center acts as a nucleophile, and contributing to the apoptotic signaling pathway.
