General Information
Term	positive regulation of action potential	ID (Ontology)	GO:0045760 (Gene Ontology)
Definition	Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of action potential creation, propagation or termination. This typically occurs via modulation of the activity or expression of voltage-gated ion channels.
Also Known As	"up regulation of action potential" ; "up-regulation of action potential" ; "upregulation of action potential"
