Thick ascending limb of loop of Henle (enters cortex and becomes DCT-distal convoluted tubule.)

Sodium is reabsorbed in the thick ascending limb of loop of Henle, by Na-K-2Cl symporter and Na-H antiporter.

The thick ascending limb of loop of Henle (TAL) also known as distal straight tubule, is a segment of the nephron in the kidney.

CD36 protein was detectable in the thick ascending limb of loop of Henle and in the collecting duct, and absent in proximal tubules in both control and diabetic mouse kidneys (Figure 1A-1D).
