ATP-ADP translocase


Recommended Posts

ATP-ADP translocase mediates the exchange of ATP and ADP and this favored by the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. But is this transport process an active process? I mean, are ATP and ADP transported against their concentration gradient or not? I don't understand if the function of the proton gradient is just to further favor an already-favorable process (passive transport) or to make possible an unfavorable process (active transport).

Thanks in advance!
