FAMILY

Vps10p-domain receptor family

CATEGORY

receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	single-pass type I membrane protein
	is localized to vesicular structures

basic FUNCTION	functioning as a sorting receptor in the Golgi compartment and as a clearance receptor on the cell surface
	may also mediate transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi
	with SORCS2 and SORCS3, have diverse, but partly overlapping functions in the developing and mature central nervous system (Hermey 2004)
	SORL1, SORCS1, SORCS2, and SORCS3 play pleiotropic functions in protein trafficking and intracellular and intercellular signaling in neuronal and non-neuronal cells
	SORCS3 is likely a novel factor modulating aversive memory extinction
	sortilin, SORL1, SORCS1, SORCS2, and SORCS3) modulate neurotrophic signaling pathways
	role for SORCS3 in controlling proper positioning and mobility of glutamate receptors in the postsynaptic density
	SORCS1 and SORCS3 control energy balance and orexigenic peptide production
	important role of SORCS3 in the central nervous system

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Sorcs3-deficient mice suffer from deficits in behavioral activities associated with hippocampal long-term depression (LTD), particularly from an accelerated extinction of fear memory
