primary active transmembrane transporter activity

Term ID
GO:0015399
Synonyms
  • primary active transporter
Definition
Enables the transfer of a solute from one side of a membrane to the other, up the solute's concentration gradient, by binding the solute and undergoing a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction and is powered by a primary energy source. Primary energy sources known to be coupled to transport are chemical such as ATP hydrolysis, redox energy and photon energy. 31613498
