Category:GO:0008656 ! cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process
name: cysteine-type endopeptidase activator activity involved in apoptotic process
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Binds to and increases the rate of proteolysis catalyzed by a cysteine-type endopeptidase involved in the apoptotic process." [GOC:mah, GOC:mtg_apoptosis]
comment: Examples of this are 1) granzymes that may bind to initiator caspases and cleave them, and 2) already active caspases, e.g. caspase 9, that cleave effector caspases.
