Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_VEIN_SMOOTH_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION


Standard name GOBP_VEIN_SMOOTH_MUSCLE_CONTRACTION
Systematic name MM16146
Brief description A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the vein. 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. The vein is a vessel carrying blood away from the capillary beds. [GOC:mtg_muscle, MA:0000715, MSH:D014680]
