Official Full Name: sortilin 1
Also known as: NT3; Gp95; NTR3; LDLCQ6
This gene encodes a member of the vps10-related sortilin family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by furin to generate the mature receptor. This receptor plays a role in the trafficking of different proteins to the cell surface or to subcellular compartments such as lysosomes and endosomes. The expression level of this gene may affect the risk of myocardial infarction in human patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
