Membrane Transport Proteins Carrier Protein and Channel Protein
Transportation Models Passive and Active Transport Electrochemical and concentration gradient, membrane potential Carrier proteins: passive and active Channels: always passive
Electrochemical Gradient Is the combinatory effect of concentration gradient and membrane potentials
Ionophores can serve as channels and carriers for ions Example: A23187, calcium permeabilizing agent
Carrier Proteins and Active Membrane Transportation
Conformational change of a carrier protein Mediates passive transport Change is spontaneous and random, so dependent on concentration
Kinetics of simple and carrier-mediated diffusions
3 ways of driving active transportation utilizing passive carriers Coupled carriers ATP-driven pumps Light-driven pumps
3 types of carrier-mediated transport Coupled carriers
Coupled transportation of glucose and Na+ Cooperative binding of Na+ and glucose to the carrier. Outer surface, Na+ high concentration induces the high affinity of glucose to carrier
Transcellular transport Tight junction separates apical and basal/lateral spaces Apical: glucose and Na+ coupling; basal/lateral: glucose is passive, Na+ maintained by ATP-driven pump
