Sorting receptor sortilin—a culprit in cardiovascular and neurological diseases
Abstract
Sortilin is a sorting receptor that directs target proteins, such as growth factors, signaling receptors, and enzymes, to their destined location in secretory or endocytic compartments of cells. The activity of sortilin is essential for proper function of not only neurons but also non-neuronal cell types, and receptor (dys)function emerges as a major cause of malignancies, including hypercholesterolemia, retinal degeneration, neuronal cell loss in stroke and spinal cord injury, or Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. In this article, we describe the molecular mechanisms of sortilin action in protein sorting and signaling and how modulation of receptor function may offer novel therapeutic strategies for treatment of common diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
