symporter

sym·port·er

(sim-pōrt'ĕr),

The protein responsible for mediating symport.

symporter

(sim-port'er)

A membrane protein that carries two different ions or molecules in the same direction through the membrane, as in the absorption of glucose linked with that of sodium ions in the small intestine.
