Human Gene Set: GOBP_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION

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

Standard name GOBP_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION
Systematic name M12628
Brief description A process in which force is generated within 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.
