  1. Detailed class and subclass descriptions can be found at http://www.tcdb.org.
  2. a Transporter classes 6 and 7 have not been assigned in the TC system yet and therefore are not listed here.
  3. b Auxiliary proteins facilitate transport via established transport systems and therefore are not counted as separate systems.
