'''Rocker-switch type Major Facilitator antiporters''' are membrane proteins that facilitate both influx and outflux of specific small molecules in a way that is neither the passive letting-through of channels, nor the active pumping of ATPases. They tilt between the two states 'outside open' and 'inside open' and the tilting (or switching) movement does the transport if a molecule has docked beforehand. We call them antiport because, with the second switching back, usually a second, different, molecule is transported in the opposite direction. | '''Rocker-switch type Major Facilitator antiporters''' are membrane proteins that facilitate both influx and outflux of specific small molecules in a way that is neither the passive letting-through of channels, nor the active pumping of ATPases.
