UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects.It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature.
The glucose transporter (GLUTs) is a type of uniporter responsible for the facilitated diffusion of glucose molecules across cell membranes. [9] Glucose is a vital energy source for most living cells, however, due to its large size, it cannot freely move through the cell membrane. [16]
Ever since, Uniport has nurtured programmes in other affiliate institutions. Below is a list of affiliate institutions of the University of Port Harcourt approved by the National Universities Commission (NUC).

It is a uniport system because it specifically transports glucose in only one direction, down its concentration gradient across the cell membrane. Another example of a uniporter mediated transport protein is microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) who is responsible for catalyzing the assembly of the triglyceride rich lipoproteins as ...

The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) is a transmembrane protein that allows the passage of calcium ions from a cell's cytosol into mitochondria.Its activity is regulated by MICU1 and MICU2, which together with the MCU make up the mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex.

Diffusion vs. Transport. In biology, an ion transporter is a transmembrane protein that moves ions (or other small molecules) across a biological membrane to accomplish many different biological functions, including cellular communication, maintaining homeostasis, energy production, etc. [1] There are different types of transporters including pumps, uniporters, antiporters, and symporters.
