Catalysis of the transfer of arabinose, a pentose monosaccharide that occurs in both D and L configurations, and as a polymer, from one side of the membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transfer of D-ribose from one side of the membrane to the other. As beta-D-ribofuranose, D-ribose forms the glycose moiety of all ribonucleosides, ribonucleotides and ribonucleic acids, and also of ribose phosphates, various glycosides, some coenzymes and some forms of vitamin B12. Catalysis of the transfer of D-xylose from one side of the membrane to the other. D-xylose (the naturally occurring enantiomer is always D-) is a constituent of plant polysaccharides. Catalysis of the transfer of monosaccharide from one side of the membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transfer of a pentose sugar, a monosaccharide with 5 carbon atoms, from one side of the membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transfer of a sugar from one side of the membrane to the other. A sugar is any member of a class of sweet, water-soluble, crystallizable carbohydrates, which are the monosaccharides and smaller oligosaccharides.
