AmiGO 2: Term Details for "relaxation of muscle" (GO:0090075)

Accession: GO:0090075
Name: relaxation of muscle
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A process in which the extent of muscle contraction is reduced. Muscle relaxation can involve a number of processes including the removal of calcium from the cytoplasm to the sarcoplasmic reticulum lumen through the action of Ca2+ ATPases. In some muscles, calcium-independent pathways also play a role in muscle relaxation by decreasing the phosphorylation state of myosin light chain. Source: GOC:BHF, PMID:19996365, GOC:rl
