Enables the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells. Enables the directed movement of a cofactor into, out of, within or between cells. A cofactor is a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. Enables the directed movement of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, the formylated derivative of tetrahydrofolate, into, out of, within, or between cells. Enables the directed movement of vitamins into, out of, within or between cells. A vitamin is one of a number of unrelated organic substances that occur in many foods in small amounts and that are necessary in trace amounts for the normal metabolic functioning of the body. Enables the transfer of a substance from one side of a membrane to the other. Enables the directed movement of folic acid (pteroylglutamic acid) into, out of, within or between cells. Folic acid is widely distributed as a member of the vitamin B complex and is essential for the synthesis of purine and pyrimidines.
