The Sortilin 1 (SORT1) Polyclonal Antibody (PACO30088) is a valuable tool for researchers studying SORT1, a cell surface receptor involved in a variety of cellular processes. This antibody, generated in rabbits, shows high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding specifically to SORT1, this antibody allows for the accurate detection and analysis of SORT1 expression in different cell types, making it an ideal choice for studies focused on neuroscience, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders.
SORT1, also known as sortilin-related receptor with A-type repeats (SORLA), plays a crucial role in protein trafficking and cellular signaling pathways, making it a key player in various physiological and pathological conditions. Dysregulation of SORT1 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases, atherosclerosis, and diabetes, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target. Studying the function of SORT1 is essential for advancing our understanding of these diseases and developing targeted therapies to address them.
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). 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.

A common polymorphism located in a non-coding region between CELSR2 and PSRC1 alters a CEBP transcription factor binding site and is responsible for changes in hepatic expression of SORT1. Altered SORT1 expression in liver affects low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in plasma and is associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction. Belongs to the VPS10-related sortilin family.
