Term Name: malate transmembrane transporter activity
Synonyms: dicarboxylate (succinate/fumarate/malate) antiporter activity
Definition: Enables the transfer of malate from one side of a membrane to the other. Malate is a chiral hydroxydicarboxylic acid, hydroxybutanedioic acid. The (+) enantiomer is an important intermediate in metabolism as a component of both the TCA cycle and the glyoxylate cycle.
