high affinity basic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity

id: GO:0005287
name: high affinity basic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the transfer of basic amino acids from one side of a membrane to the other. Acidic amino acids have a pH above 7. In high affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations.
