AmiGO 2: Term Details for "arteriole smooth muscle contraction" (GO:0014830)

Accession: GO:0014830
Name: arteriole smooth muscle contraction
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A process in which force is generated within smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. This process occurs in the arteriole. 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 arteriole is the smallest division of the artery located between the muscular arteries and the capillaries. Source: GOC:mtg_muscle, MA:0000706, MSH:D001160
