Transporters can only move the load to any point on a vertical surface (generally a plane surface); they have a lifting Trans- motion and a movement of translation.
The jibs of transporters are often made to slide forward, or lift up, so as to be out of the way when not in use.
The drugs increase the number of transporters, chemicals that remove glutamate from nerves.
There is thus the potential of drug interactions mediated by inhibition of transporters.
The Center has a major program of structural and functional studies on several classes of membrane proteins, including membrane transporters and ion channels.
