|Interpro abstract (IPR006581):|
Yeast Vps10p is a receptor for sorting and transport of the soluble vacuolar hydrolase carboxypeptidase Y to the lysosome-like vacuole [(PUBMED:11801606)]. In mammalian cells, proteins containing this domain are involved in the transport of lipoproteins and sorting of endosomal proteins. They may also act as receptors for some neuropeptides.
The N terminus of murine brain SorCS contains two putative cleavage sites for the convertase furin which mark the beginning of the VPS10 domain, which is followed by a module of imperfect leucine-rich repeats and a transmembrane domain. The short intracellular C terminus contains consensus signals for rapid internalization. The identified putative binding motifs for SH2 and SH3 domains are unique in the family of VPS10 domain receptors. SorCS is predominantly expressed in brain, but also in heart, liver, and kidney. SorCS transcripts detected by in situ hybridization in the murine central nervous system point to a neuronal expression [(PUBMED:10600506), (PUBMED:10329739)].
