GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.
Category:GO:0042500 ! aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving
name: aspartic endopeptidase activity, intramembrane cleaving
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the hydrolysis of nonterminal peptide bonds in a polypeptide chain, occurring within a membrane." [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
comment: Note that although GO generally avoids the use of localization information in terms, in this case an exception was made. This is because the fact that the cleavage occurs within the membrane is integral to its function, as it is the only thing that distinguishes this group from other aspartic endopeptidases.
