bilirubin secondary active transmembrane transporter activity

Term ID

GO:0015351

Synonyms

• bilirubin porter activity
• bilitranslocase

Definition

Enables the transfer of bilirubin from one side of a membrane to the other, up its concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is driven by a chemiosmotic source of energy. Secondary active transporters include symporters and antiporters.
