The epithelial cells in the PCT are highly specialised for their main purpose: the reabsorption of useful substances into the peritubular capillaries that run adjacent to the nephrons.
-
Subsequently, the glucose moves into the peritubular capillaries, once again down a concentration gradient.
-
Subsequently, the efferent arteriole develops into peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta, whose purpose will be discussed in more detail later.

Upon the secretion of erythropoietin by the peritubular fibroblasts into systemic circulation, the hormone travels in the bloodstream until it reaches the bone marrow.
-
The movement of ions and glucose into the peritubular capillaries reduces the solute potential of the plasma; on account of this, water moves into the capillaries by osmosis, via aquaporins situated in the cell surface membranes of the epithelial cells.
-
EPO messenger RNA detected in the peritubular fibroblasts of the renal cortex and outer medulla has confirmed that these interstitial cells are indeed the site of EPO secretion.
