NCIt synonyms : SorLA-1; LDLR Relative With 11 Ligand-Binding Repeats; Sorting Protein-Related Receptor Containing LDLR Class A Repeats; Mosaic Protein LR11; Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Relative With 11 Ligand-Binding Repeats; LR11; SorLA;
NCIt definition : Sortilin-related receptor (2214 aa, 248 kDa) is encoded by the human SORL1 gene.
This protein is involved in both endocytosis and protein trafficking.;
NCIt note : Sortilin-related receptor may be involved in transporting amyloid beta A4 protein
(APP) to the Golgi. This may prevent APP trafficking to late endosomes where it would
be proteolytically processed to form beta amyloid. (UniProt);
