The phrase "active transporter" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in scientific contexts, particularly in biology and biochemistry, to refer to a type of protein that moves substances across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient.
Example: "The active transporter plays a crucial role in maintaining the cell's ion balance by moving sodium ions out and potassium ions into the cell."
Alternatives: "energy-dependent transporter" or "ATP-driven transporter".
The decreased expression of genes related to the BP categories "metabolism", "transport", "excretion" and the MF category "primary active transporter activity" indicates the challenges posed to the graft to maintain renal function.
Taken together, an ABC transporter has the ability to utilize much more energy per transport cycle than a secondary active transporter, allowing the transport of more energy-demanding substrates.
These findings are interesting from the point of view that the ion transport by the secondary active transporter (KCC4) upregulates the primary active pump activity (H+,K+-ATPase).
MPP+ is transported into dopaminergic neurons via dopamine active transporter and interferes with complex I activity in mitochondria, eventually increasing reactive oxygen species production and oxidative stress in the cell [ 3].
The expression of a primary or secondary active transporter could plausibly improve D-GalA transport rates even at high concentrations and/or sustain import as extracellular concentrations decrease.
In addition to the DA effects on osteoblasts, there were relevant evidences of DA receptor and DA active transporter (DAT) can also influence osteogenic activity.
SLCs can be either facilitative transporters, which transport their substrates down the gradient across the membrane, or secondary active transporters, which transport their substrates against the gradient across the membrane by coupling a downhill transport of another substrate.
In contrast to facilitated transport, active transporters seem to be strictly unidirectional and mediating either cellular influx or efflux.
Active transporters couple solute transport to the input of energy and these can be divided into two classes: ion-coupled and ATP-dependent transporters.
In contrast, secondary active transporters (symporters) couple solute transport with monovalent cation (either H+ or Na+) transport.
A previous study suggested that virus infection causes depolarization of the host cell membranes, thus decreasing the transport of solutes by active transporters via plasma membranes [ 43].
