* The proximal tubule is a major site for reabsorption and some secretion.
* The [[Microscopic Anatomy of the Nephron - Anatomy & Physiology#Proximal Tubule|proximal tubule]] is a major site for reabsorption and some secretion.
* Gradients are small across the epithelium so tight regulation is not possible
