Human Gene Set: GOBP_ACTION_POTENTIAL

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

Standard name GOBP_ACTION_POTENTIAL
Systematic name M8865
Brief description A process in which membrane potential cycles through a depolarizing spike, triggered in response to depolarization above some threshold, followed by repolarization. This cycle is driven by the flow of ions through various voltage gated channels with different thresholds and ion specificities. [GOC:dph, GOC:go_curators, GOC:tb, ISBN:978-0-07-139011-8]
