Name | short-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity |
ID | GO_0015636 |
collection_id | Molecular function |
Alternative ID | GO:0015635 |
Description | Enables the transfer of short-chain fatty acids from one side of a membrane to the other. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing fewer than 6 carbons. |
Related synonym | short-chain fatty acid transporter activity, short-chain fatty acid uptake transporter activity |
Comment | While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283). |
