pyruvate secondary active transmembrane transporter activity

Term ID

GO:0005477

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.
