Enables the transfer of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) from one side of a membrane to the other. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines
Synonyms
1. folate transmembrane transporter activity
2. folate transporter activity
3. folic acid transporter activity
4. vitamin B9 transporter activity
5. vitamin M transporter activity
