Abstract
SORLA is a sorting receptor known to control the intracellular trafficking of the amyloid precursor protein, which impaired pathway has a central role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recently, genetic analyses confirmed the casual role for SORLA in AD, as coding variants and single nucleotide polymorphisms of SORL1 (gene encoding SORLA) were identified in individuals affected by early-onset AD and late-onset AD, respectively. However, many other different types of ligands were found to target the receptor, thus strongly indicating that SORLA can exert multifunctional activities. In the current review, we provide an overview of the multi-ligand properties of SORLA, showing how this complex receptor is involved in a variety of biological functions.
