Sortilin, neurotensin receptor 3,

Definition

Sortilin, also known in mammals as neurotensin receptor-3, is the archetypical member of a Vps10-domain (Vps10-D) that binds neurotrophic factors and neuropeptides PMID:25345507. This domain constitutes the entire luminal part of Sortilin and is activated in the trans-Golgi network by enzymatic propeptide cleavage [[cite:PMID:9013611],[cite:PMID:9756851]]. The structure of the domain has been determined as a ten-bladed propeller, with up to 9 BNR or beta-hairpin turns in it PMID:19122660. The mature receptor binds various ligands, including its own propeptide (Sort-pro), neurotensin, the pro-forms of nerve growth factor-beta (NGF)6 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)7, lipoprotein lipase (LpL), apo lipoprotein AV14 and the receptor-associated protein (RAP)1 [[cite:PMID:10085125],[cite:PMID:19122660]].
