The Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase transport system that plays a pivotal role in much of tubular reabsorption is located in the A) luminal membrane of tubular cells B) basolateral membrane of tubular cells C) podocytes D) glomerular capillary membrane E) basement membrane

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase transport system, also known as the sodium-potassium pump, is located in the basolateral membrane of tubular cells. This transporter is responsible for reabsorbing sodium ions from the filtrate back into the bloodstream, while pumping potassium ions in the opposite direction. This process is crucial for maintaining proper electrolyte balance in the body.
