The old term "protein carrier activity" had a definition whcih made it a
transmembrane transporter "Catalysis of the transfer of proteins from
one side of a membrane to the other" which made it a transmembrane
transporter so it was renamed
"protein transmembrane transporter activity"
Quite a few of us have used the old term to annotate karyopherins (which
was incorrect as the nucler membrane (i.e lipid bilayer) is not
penetrated during transport through the nuclear pore). These need
moving to protein transporter activity; GOid=GO:0008565;
