It is responsible for reabsorbing phosphate that has been filtered out at the glomerulus. The proximal tubule is the portion of the duct system of the nephron of the kidney which leads from Bowman's capsule to the loop of Henle. The most distinctive characteristic of the proximal tubule is its brush border.
