Killer whales are marine mammals belonging to the family Delphinidae, formed by several species of dolphins, false killer whales and pilot whales.
Active transport is the key to the reabsorptive processes in the proximal tubule. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed across the apical membrane of the proximal tubule by sodium-coupled secondary active transport. Na + glucose transport is mediated by the low affinity, high capacity SGLUT2 transport protein.
Kidney Reabsorption. Once inside the lumen of the nephron, small molecules, such as ions, glucose and amino acids, get reabsorbed from the filtrate: 1  Specialized proteins called transporters are located on the membranes of the various cells of the nephron.
