Sortilin-related receptor (SORL1)

Likely to be a multifunctional endocytic receptor, which might be implicated in the uptake of lipoproteins and of proteases. Binds LDL, the significant cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis.

Binds the receptor- associated protein (RAP). Could play a role in cell-cell interaction.
