Function

SORT_MOUSE Functions as a sorting receptor in the Golgi compartment and as a clearance receptor on the cell surface. Required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosomes by a pathway that is independent of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). Also required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endosomes. Promotes neuronal apoptosis by mediating endocytosis of the proapoptotic precursor forms of BDNF (proBDNF) and NGFB (proNGFB). Also acts as a receptor for neurotensin. May promote mineralization of the extracellular matrix during osteogenic differentiation by scavenging extracellular LPL. Probably required in adipocytes for the formation of specialized storage vesicles containing the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 (GLUT4 storage vesicles, or GSVs). These vesicles provide a stable pool of SLC2A4 and confer increased responsiveness to insulin. May also mediate transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Sortilin is a multifunctional sorting receptor involved in cytokine production in immune cells. To understand the mechanism of Sortilin-mediated cytokine trafficking, we determined the 2.45-A structure of the dimerized Sortilin ectodomain (sSortilin or the Vps10-domain) crystallized at acidic pH. Substantial conformational changes upon dimerization lead to the intermolecular hydrophobic interaction between the conserved E455 and F137. Analysis of the electrostatic surface and size-exclusion chromatography revealed that sSortilin dimerization occurs due to an increase in hydrophobic interactions at the neutral dimer interface at acidic pH. The N682-attached N-glycan in the vicinity of the dimer interface implies its involvement in the dimerization. The disruption of Sortilin dimerization by mutations impairs efficient interferon-alpha secretion from cells. These results suggest the functional importance of Sortilin dimerization in cytokine trafficking.
