Term Name: secondary active transmembrane transporter activity
Synonyms: active transporter, coupled carrier, electrochemical potential-driven transporter activity, energizer of outer membrane receptor-mediated transport activity, galactose/glucose (methylgalactoside) porter activity, heavy metal ion porter activity, ion-gradient-driven energizer activity, multidrug endosomal transmembrane transporter activity, nitrite/nitrate porter activity, porter activity, porters, secondary carrier-type facilitators
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.
