secondary active sulfate transmembrane transporter activity

Term ID

GO:0008271

Synonyms

• secondary active sulphate transmembrane transporter activity
• sulfate porter activity
• sulphate porter activity

Definition

Enables the secondary active transfer of sulfate from one side of a membrane to the other. Secondary active transport is the transfer of a solute across a membrane, 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.
