Supplementary information

Sortilin also known as NT3 receptor is a type I membrane protein with an approximate molecular mass of 100 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues especially the central nervous system and adipose tissue. Sortilin belongs to the Vps10p domain receptor family and functions in intracellular protein sorting. Its primary role involves the transport and signaling of neurotrophins particularly NT-3 protein (neurotrophin-3) which is vital for neuronal growth and survival.
Biological function summary

NT-3 protein influences the development and differentiation of the nervous system. Sortilin serves as a receptor for NT-3 facilitating the interaction with the TrkC receptor on neuronal cells. Sortilin forms a complex with NT-3 contributing to critical cellular processes. Being part of this receptor complex Sortilin modulates neuron-related signaling pathways which are essential for neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.

Pathways

Sortilin and NT-3 play significant roles in the neurotrophin signaling pathway and influence the MAPK signaling cascade. These pathways are pivotal in neuron survival differentiation and growth. NT-3 interacts with other proteins such as TrkC and p75 to propagate these signals. Through its association with TrkC receptor Sortilin mediates critical cellular responses linked to neurotrophin signaling. The interplay between these proteins allows precise regulation of neuronal activities in various physiological states.

NT-3 and Sortilin have associations with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and metabolic disorders like obesity. Dysregulation of Sortilin can contribute to abnormal NT-3 signaling affecting neuronal homeostasis. The protein also shows links with amyloid precursor protein (APP) in Alzheimer's disease where abnormal interactions may exacerbate disease progression. Understanding the dynamics of Sortilin in these conditions can offer insights into potential therapeutic approaches.

Target data

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). Lysosomal proteins bind specifically to the receptor in the Golgi apparatus and the resulting receptor-ligand complex is transported to an acidic prelysosomal compartment where the low pH mediates the dissociation of the complex (PubMed : 16787399). The receptor is then recycled back to the Golgi for another round of trafficking through its binding to the retromer. 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.
