Cotransporters are transmembrane proteins that facilitate the movement of molecules in the same direction (symporters) or in opposite directions (antiporters).

What are cotransporters?

Cotransporters are proteins that couple the movement of a solute against its concentration gradient, driven by the movement of another solute down an electrochemical gradient, in one direction.

Characteristics of cotransporters

  • Cotransporters include symporters, which mediate the transport of two solutes in the same direction; and antiporters, which mediate the transport of two solutes in opposite directions.

  • They use energy stored in an electrochemical gradient and not directly from ATP hydrolysis.

Therefore, we can conclude that cotransporters move a molecule into a cell against a concentration gradient in one direction.
