- The Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransporter for Cl- entry into the cell
- K+ channels to recycle K+ and maintain the necessary membrane potential to drive Cl- exit across apical membrane Cl- channels
- At least 3 pharmacologically distinct types of K+ channels contribute to the basolateral membrane K+ conductance:
- CAMP-activated K+ channel
