SORL1
Sortilin-related receptor, L(DLR class) A repeats containing is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SORL1 gene.[5]
SORL1 (also known as SORLA, SORLA1, or LR11) is a neuronal apolipoprotein E receptor, the gene for which is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system.[6]
Clinical significance
Mutation of the gene for apolipoprotein E (APOE) is predictive of Alzheimer's disease.[7] Lack of the APOE receptor is suspected to be a contributory factor to Alzheimer's: a significant reduction in SORL1 (LR11) expression has been found in brain tissue of Alzheimer's disease patients.[8] The APOE receptor has also been linked with regulation of amyloid precursor protein, faulty processing of which is implicated in Alzheimer's.[9] A more recent study by a group of international researchers [10] supports the proposition that SORL1 plays a part in seniors developing Alzheimer's disease, the findings being significant across racial and ethnic strata.[11]
