Antiporter

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

An antiporter is an integral membrane protein that is involved in facilitated diffusion.

It works by binding to one molecule of solute outside the membrane, and one molecule on the inside. By using S2's gradient, we are able to transport S1 against its gradient.
