Closes #873

I want to model the relationship between a gene and its product's molecular function.

graph LR
    gene["AKT1 (HGNC:391)"] -- "has gene product (RO:0002205)" --> protein["RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (uniprot:P31749)"] -- "enables (RO:0002327)" --> activity["non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase (EC:2.7.11.1)"]
    gene -- "has gene product that enables (this proposal)" --> activity
Loading

I see this as being a simple property chain of has gene product (RO:0002205) and enables (RO:0002327). As suggested by @balhoff, this property is a sub-property of the grouping property "functionally related to"

Further discussion about EC/Rhea/GO being molecular functions in #783

Motivation

This is directly motivated by making a more accurate ontologization of HGNC in biopragmatics/pyobo#455

@anitacaron I addressed both and rebased against the main branch

Technically, it's approved, but still needs an ontologist reviewer.

@cthoyt makes sense to me! I suggest making this property a subproperty of functionally related to.

@balhoff thanks for the quick review, I did that then rebased my changes on the main branch

@anitacaron does this need additional discussion before merge, now that Jim has commented and I've updated it accordingly?
