Term Information

Accession
GO:0140104
Name
molecular carrier activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
None
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Directly binding to a specific ion or molecule and delivering it either to an acceptor molecule or to a specific location. Source: GOC:pdt, GOC:molecular_function_refactoring
Comment
Note that a carrier moves with its substrate/cargo, while a transporter does not move with the cargo, but facilitates the change in localization.
