Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_MUSCLE_HYPERTROPHY

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_MUSCLE_HYPERTROPHY

Standard name GOBP_MUSCLE_HYPERTROPHY
Systematic name MM5714
Brief description The muscle system process that results in enlargement or overgrowth of all or part of a muscle organ due to an increase in the size of its muscle cells. Physiological hypertrophy is a normal process during development (it stops in cardiac muscle after adolescence) and can also be brought on in response to demand. In athletes cardiac and skeletal muscles undergo hypertrophy stimulated by increasing muscle activity on exercise. Smooth muscle cells in the uterus undergo hypertrophy during pregnancy.
