ab16640 was shown to specifically react with Sortilin/NT3 in wild-type HAP1 cells. No band was observed when Sortilin/NT3 knockout samples were examined. Wild-type and Sortilin/NT3 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab16640 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were diluted 1 μg/mL and 1/10,000 respectively and incubated overnight at 4°C. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1/10,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunohistochemistry (PFA perfusion fixed frozen sections) - Anti-Sortilin/NT3 antibody (AB16640)
Immunofluorescent staining for Sortilin/NT3 in rat cortical neurons using ab16640. The staining is cytoplasmic and punctate of many cells such as cortical neurons. The image was taken with a X20 objective.
Protocol details : Rats were intracardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde. Whole brain tissue was post-fixed overnight in the same fixative, cryoprotected in 20% sucrose and frozen in OCT and then cut on cryostat (30μm coronal sections). IHC was perfored in free floating with fixed tissues (rat brain sections). Primary antibody was incubated overnight at 1/3000 at room temperature

ab16640 was shown to react with Sortilin/NT3 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab264772 (knockout cell lysate ab257696) was used. Wild-type HeLa and SORT1 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab16640 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1 μg/ml and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye®800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye®680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

EGF promotes the EGFR—sortilin interaction. a A549 cells grown in complete cell culture media were stimulated or not with EGF (50 ng/mL) for 30 min. Immunoprecipitations (IP) were performed using anti-EGFR antibody, and the immunocomplexes were immunoblotted (IB) using anti-sortilin antibody (top). In parallel, immunoblots for P-EGFR, EGFR, sortilin, P-ERK, and ERK were performed on whole-cell lysates (WCL); the isotypic lane Immunoglobulin G (IgG) represents the IP control. b Proximity ligation assays (PLA) were performed on A549 cells, non-stimulated or stimulated with EGF (50 ng/mL) for 2, 5, 15, and 30 min. Red spots indicate sites of proximity ligation assay amplification, reflecting the EGFR—sortilin interaction (white arrows). Scale bar, 10 µm. c Quantification of PLA time course, in comparison with non-stimulated cells. d A549 cells were stimulated or not with EGF (50 ng/mL) for 30 min, and then co-immunolabeled for EGFR and markers of the early endosome (Rab5), the late endosome/lysosome (LAMP2) and the trans-Golgi network (TGN46). For sortilin labeling, A549 cells were transiently transfected with sortilin-GFP to adapt a set of functional antibodies, and then immunolabeled for the same markers. Scale bar, 5 µm. e Quantitative analysis of EGFR or sortilin-GFP co-localization with the aforementioned organelle-specific markers. f A549 cells were transiently transfected with sortilin-GFP, and then stimulated with EGF (50 ng/mL) for 30 min. Next, cells were fixed and co-immunolabeled for EGFR and Rab5. Scale bar, 10 µm. All values represent means ± SD, Student’s t-test *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001.

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.
