This article outlines the functional connection and possible mechanisms of signal transduction between the connecting tubule and afferent arteriole. Earlier in-vivo experiments suggested that such a site of communication exists, but this is the first study to directly demonstrate it.

The phenomenon of signaling between distal nephron and the efferent arteriole has been described earlier by this group, but the mechanisms were yet unknown. This article describes a possible mechanism by adenosine binding to its A2 receptors.
