Amino Acid Transporter

Preferred Label : Amino Acid Transporter;

NCIt synonyms : Amino Acid Channel; Amino Acid Transport Protein;

NCIt definition : Amino Acid Transporter proteins carry organic compounds containing an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group through solubility barriers, such as aqueous body fluids, lipid membranes or across epithelial layers. After binding substrate, transmembrane transporters often undergo an energy-dependent conformational change that moves the substrate across the membrane with (symport) or against (antiport) concentration gradients.;
