Category:GO:0005477 ! pyruvate secondary active transmembrane transporter activity

name: pyruvate secondary active transmembrane transporter activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Enables the transfer of pyruvate from one side of a membrane to the other, 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." [GOC:mtg_transport]
