Cell Type Overview

Intercalated cells are specialized cells found in the collecting ducts of the kidney nephron. They are critical for regulating systemic acid-base balance. There are two main types: Type A (alpha) cells secrete protons (H+) via H+-ATPase pumps and reabsorb bicarbonate, correcting acidosis. Type B (beta) cells secrete bicarbonate and reabsorb protons, correcting alkalosis. They also play a role in potassium balance.
