Synonyms
vascular smooth muscle contraction
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
A process, occurring in the vascular tissue, whereby actin/myosin complex activity generates force through ATP hydrolysis resulting in a change in smooth muscle geometry. This process is always coupled to chemo-mechanical energy conversion. Source: GOC:mtg_muscle, MA:0002718
