Term Name: positive regulation of amino acid transport
Synonyms: activation of amino acid transport, positive regulation of amino acid transmembrane transport, stimulation of amino acid transport, up regulation of amino acid transport, up-regulation of amino acid transport, upregulation of amino acid transport
Definition: Any process that activates, maintains or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of amino acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
