Carrier Proteins
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A carrier protein binds a specific substance and changes shape to move it across the membrane, saturating once every carrier is occupied.
Show
When blood glucose exceeds what the kidney's glucose carriers can reabsorb, the excess passes into the urine.
Watch for
Once saturated, raising the gradient further does not raise the transport rate — the carriers become the limit.
