Human Gene Set: GOBP_SMOOTH_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_SMOOTH_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION

Standard name GOBP_SMOOTH_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION
Systematic name M13593
Brief description A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. Force generation involves a chemo-mechanical energy conversion step that is carried out by the actin/myosin complex activity, which generates force through ATP hydrolysis. Smooth muscle differs from striated muscle in the much higher actin/myosin ratio, the absence of conspicuous sarcomeres and the ability to contract to a much smaller fraction of its resting length.
