Reabsorption of Amino Acids

Created by

Ellison

Cards (2)

All are re-absorbed, by a similar process to glucose; indirect active transport mechanism with Na^+/amino acid co-transport protein carriers in microvilli membranes of the PCT wall epithelium
Amino acids by facilitated diffusion go from cells into intercellular spaces (via protein channels or carriers in lateral and basal surface membranes) then by simple diffusion into blood plasma
