Summary Introduction

To review:

The transporter other than an antiporter that could produce electroneutral coupled transport.

Introduction:

In order to achieve the transportation of molecules across the cell membrane under an active transport, the energy of one chemical gradient is exchanged with that of another. The positively charged ions are the randomly used chemical gradients. A decrease in the concentration of such ions across a membrane leads to the release of energy. The released energy is used by several transport proteins, which then carry out the transportation of other molecules against the concentration gradient. This process is frequently referred to as coupled transport.
