Catalysis of the transfer of an arabitol from one side of the membrane to the other. Arabitol is the pentitol derived from arabinose or lyxose by reduction of the aldehyde group. The D enantiomer is present in lichens and mushrooms. Catalysis of the transfer of glycerol from one side of the membrane to the other. Glycerol is 1,2,3-propanetriol, a sweet, hygroscopic, viscous liquid, widely distributed in nature as a constituent of many lipids. Catalysis of the transfer of propanediol from one side of the membrane to the other. Propanediol is a sweet colorless, viscous, hygroscopic liquid used as an antifreeze and in brake fluid; it is also as a humectant in cosmetics and personal care items, although it can be absorbed through the skin with harmful effects. Catalysis of the transfer of a polyol from one side of the membrane to the other. A polyol is any polyhydric alcohol. Enables the transfer of a specific substance or group of related substances from one side of a membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transfer of myo-inositol from one side of the membrane to the other. Myo-inositol is 1,2,3,4,5/4,6-cyclohexanehexol, a growth factor for animals and microorganisms. Catalysis of the transfer of an alcohol from one side of the membrane to the other. An alcohol is any carbon compound that contains a hydroxyl group. Catalysis of the transfer of mannitol from one side of the membrane to the other. Mannitol is the alditol derived from D-mannose by reduction of the aldehyde group. Catalysis of the transfer of sorbitol from one side of the membrane to the other. Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is the hexitol derived by the reduction of the aldehyde group of glucose. Catalysis of the transfer of a galactitol from one side of the membrane to the other. Galactitol is the hexitol derived by the reduction of the aldehyde group of either D- or L-galactose.
