membrane depolarization
id: GO:0051899
name: membrane depolarization
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The process in which membrane potential changes in the depolarizing direction from the resting potential, usually from negative to positive. For example, the initial depolarization during the rising phase of an action potential is in the direction from the negative resting potential towards the positive membrane potential that will be the peak of the action potential.
