- Synonyms
-
- active transporter
- coupled carrier
- electrochemical potential-driven transporter activity
- Definition
- Enables the transfer of a solute 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, not direct ATP coupling. Secondary active transporters include symporters and antiporters. (3)
