Term Name: active transmembrane transporter activity
Synonyms: active carrier activity, carrier activity, permease activity, pump activity
Definition: Enables the transfer of a specific substance or related group of substances from one side of a membrane to the other, up the solute's concentration gradient. The transporter binds the solute and undergoes a series of conformational changes. Transport works equally well in either direction.
