Abstract
The phosphate translocator is a specific carrier situated in the inner membrane of the chloroplast envelope (HELDT & RAPLEY 1970, HELDT & SAUER 1971, HELDT et al. 1972). It facilitates a counter exchange of inorganic phosphate (Pi), 3 phosphoglycerate (PGA) and dihydroxyacetonephosphate (DAP). The physiological function of the phosphate translocator is to transport the main products of photosynthesis of spinach chloroplasts, DAP and PGA, from the stroma into the cytoplasm in exchange for Pi.
