Model of P2X receptor-mediated intracellular alkalization in medullary thick ascending limb. Stimulation of the P2X receptor causes an influx of cations, which should lead to cell swelling. This in turn may stimulate the apical Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE3), leading to the observed intracellular alkalization.
