| Enzyme Function | FUNCTION: Cysteine protease that plays an essential role in host liquefaction to facilitate horizontal transmission of the virus. Accumulates within infected cells as an inactive proenzyme (proV-CATH), which is activated by proteolytic cleavage upon cell death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12069520}. |
