Sorting nexin-17 (SNX17)

Critical regulator of endosomal recycling of numerous receptors, channels, and other transmembrane proteins. Binds to NPxY sequences in the cytoplasmic tails of goal cargos.

Plays a role in the sorting of endocytosed LRP1 and APP, and prevents their degradation. Required for maintenance of normal cell surface levels of APP and LRP1.
