    basic FUNCTION
  • having a neuropeptide receptor activity
  • mediate intracellular protein trafficking and sorting (Nielsen 2008)
  • 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
  • SORCS1 is sufficient to promote secretory granule biogenesis
  • sortilin, SORL1, SORCS1, SORCS2, and SORCS3) modulate neurotrophic signaling pathways
  • SORCS1 and SORCS3 control energy balance and orexigenic peptide production
  • SORCS1-mediated sorting in dendritic endosomes controls NRXN1 axonal surface polarization required for proper synapse development and function

  • platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) (Nielsen 2008)
  • sortilin (SORT1) and sortilin-related receptor, L(DLR class) A repeats-containing (SORLA)
  • new role for SORCS1 as a modulator of SORT1 function
  • SORCS1 localizes to early and recycling endosomes and regulates neurexin and AMPAR surface trafficking
  • SORCS1 is a critical regulator of trafficking of neuronal receptors, including the presynaptic adhesion molecule neurexin (NRXN1), an essential synaptic organizer
