Preparation and Storage

Background: Sortilin

Sortilin, also known as neurotensin receptor 3, is a 100 kDa transmembrane receptor that is localized both in the endosomal compartment and on plasma membranes. It contains an extracellular/lumenal Vps10p (vacuolar protein-sorting 10 protein) domain and is one of five known members of the mammalian Vps10p-D receptor family. A Sortilin propeptide, cleaved by a furin, blocks premature ligand binding to uncleaved Sortilin and functions as a chaperone to facilitate trafficking in the Golgi compartments. Sortilin binds multiple ligands and has diverse functions. Mature human Sortilin extracellular domain shares 92% and 91% amino acid sequence identity with that of mouse and rat Sortilin, respectively.
