Model of ion transport in seawater and freshwater chloride cells
Toggle between the seawater and freshwater model by clicking the SW or FW button.
Key to the components of the model:
Grey - Chloride cellPurple - Accessory cell
SW - Seawater-type chloride cell

NKA - Na+,K+-ATPase [alpha1b subunit]
NKCC - Na+-K+-2Cl-Cotransporter
Kir - inward rectifier K+ channel
FW - Freshwater-type chloride cell
AE - Anion Exchanger
V-HA - V-type H+-ATPase
ENaC - Epithelial Na+ Channel
NHE - Na+,H+ Exchanger
NCC - Na+-2Cl-Cotransporter
NKA - Na+,K+-ATPase [alpha1a subunit]
