Kidney Tubule Apical Membrane. Here we report the cloning of the complementary dna for wch cd a water channel of the apical membrane of the kidney collecting tubule. The basolateral atp dependent na k pump produces the gradient for na to be absorbed from the apical surface via the na cl symporter.
The kidney is the major organ responsible for maintaining electrolyte balance and acid base homeostasis in mammals. The basolateral atp dependent na k pump produces the gradient for na to be absorbed from the apical surface via the na cl symporter. The distal convoluted tubule dct is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of henle and the collecting tubule.
This transport process costs the kidney 80 of its oxygen consumption.
The kidney is the major organ responsible for maintaining electrolyte balance and acid base homeostasis in mammals. The distal convoluted tubule dct is a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of henle and the collecting tubule. The present study localizes nhe 3 in. The basolateral atp dependent na k pump produces the gradient for na to be absorbed from the apical surface via the na cl symporter.
