Document Summary

The pumping of ions or molecules through a membrane against their concentration gradient. Always requires a trans-membrane (integral) protein: usually called a transporter . Proteins are: specific for a given chemical, their presence in the cell membrane is regulated by the cell, transport is coupled to the consumption of energy. Energy from atp can be used directly or indirectly. Direct active transport: the transporter binds atp directly and uses the energy of its hydrolysis to drive active transport, atp acts upon the pump itself to cause conformational changes of the pump. Cells maintain a high internal k+ (100 mm inside 5 mm outside) Cells simultaneously maintain high external na+ (10-20 mm inside 150 mm outside) Na+/k+ atpase: an enzyme and a transmembrane protein that establishes this ion gradient, this transporter uses atp to pump out 3 na+ and pump in 2 k+ against their concentration gradients.
