GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.
Category:GO:0097200 ! cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in execution phase of apoptosis
name: cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in execution phase of apoptosis
namespace: molecular_function
def: "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 execution phase of apoptosis." [GOC:mtg_apoptosis, Wikipedia:Caspase]
comment: Examples of gene products that may be annotated to this term include CASP3, CASP6 and CASP7, also called effector (or executioner) caspases.
synonym: "effector caspase activity" NARROW []
