obsolete activation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/28468 true GO:0097202 activation of metacaspase activity biological_process 2011-12-19T02:44:04Z OBSOLETE. Any process that initiates the activity of the inactive enzyme cysteine-type endopeptidase. This term should be used to annotate gene products within the context of cellular processes other than apoptotic cell death (e.g., cell cycle arrest). To annotate gene products involved in activation of cysteine-type endopeptidases where the activation results in apoptotic process, please use the more granular term GO:0006919. The reason for obsoletion is that this term represents regulation of a molecular function pr activation of caspase activity
