SORL1 encodes SorLA, a multidomain type I transmembrane sorting receptor that functions as a master regulator of intracellular vesicular trafficking, directing the endosomal fate of APP and multiple other transmembrane cargoes including TRKB, GLUA1, HER2/HER3, insulin receptor, IL-6R, and the GDNF/GFRα1 complex (PMID:17220890, PMID:35226190, PMID:31138794, PMID:33420373, PMID:27322061, PMID:28265003, PMID:23333276). SorLA cycles between the TGN, endosomes, and the plasma membrane through interactions with the retromer complex (via a FANSHY–VPS26 interaction), GGA1/2, AP-1, and SNX27; retromer-dependent retrograde sorting retrieves APP from endosomes to the TGN to prevent amyloidogenic processing, while GGA-dependent anterograde sorting targets newly generated Aβ peptides to lysosomes for degradation via the VPS10p domain (PMID:22279231, PMID:11821067, PMID:17646382, PMID:27466343, PMID:26377460, PMID:24523320). SorLA dimerizes through its fibronectin-type-III and VPS10p domains within retromer-positive endosomal tubules to enhance APP recycling, and its ectodomain undergoes ADAM17-mediated shedding—modulated by ROCK2 phosphorylation at S2206 and tetraspanin CD9—releasing a soluble form (sSORLA) that activates EGFR/ERK signaling to promote neurite outgrowth (PMID:36652482, PMID:21147781, PMID:24699135, PMID:32601248). Loss-of-function variants and haploinsufficiency cause endosomal enlargement, increased Aβ production, elevated tau, and reduced APOE/CLU levels, establishing SORL1 as a causal Alzheimer's disease gene (PMID:34922638, PMID:36099918, PMID:37611586, PMID:32492427).
