Term Name: | pyruvate secondary active transmembrane transporter activity |
---|---|
Synonyms: | pyruvate carrier activity |
Definition: | Enables the transfer of pyruvate 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. |
