The water channel presented in proximal convoluted tubule is:
Rapid diffusion of water across cell membranes depends on the presence of water channels, integral membrane proteins called aquaporins. Aquaporin-1 is localized to both the basolateral and apical membrane of the proximal tubules and its presence allows water to move rapidly out of the tubule along the osmotic gradients set up by active transpo of solutes, and isotonicity is maintained.
