Category:GO:0015399 ! primary active transmembrane transporter activity

name: primary active transmembrane transporter activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "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." [GOC:mtg_transport, PMID:31613498]
