ammonium transmembrane transporter activity

http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0008519

Enables the transfer of ammonium from one side of a membrane to the other. Ammonium is the cation NH4+ which is formed from N2 by root-nodule bacteria in leguminous plants and is an excretory product in ammonotelic animals. [ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17710640 ]
