Product details:
Human Sortilin 1 ELISA kit (ab277074) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human Sortilin 1 protein in human tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Sortilin 1 with 261.7 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Sortilin 1 is a receptor found in the Golgi and is involved in protein sorting and transport. Sortilin 1 is ubiquitously expressed and abundant in neurons, where it is involved in neuronal development and apoptosis. Sortilin 1 is also involved in lipid metabolism and has been suggested as a clinical marker for coronary artery disease. Sortilin 1 has been implicated in atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

Sortilin also known as NT3 receptor is a type I membrane protein with an approximate molecular mass of 100 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues especially the central nervous system and adipose tissue. Sortilin belongs to the Vps10p domain receptor family and functions in intracellular protein sorting. Its primary role involves the transport and signaling of neurotrophins particularly NT-3 protein (neurotrophin-3) which is vital for neuronal growth and survival.
Biological function summary
NT-3 protein influences the development and differentiation of the nervous system. Sortilin serves as a receptor for NT-3 facilitating the interaction with the TrkC receptor on neuronal cells. Sortilin forms a complex with NT-3 contributing to critical cellular processes. Being part of this receptor complex Sortilin modulates neuron-related signaling pathways which are essential for neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.
Pathways
Sortilin and NT-3 play significant roles in the neurotrophin signaling pathway and influence the MAPK signaling cascade. These pathways are pivotal in neuron survival differentiation and growth. NT-3 interacts with other proteins such as TrkC and p75 to propagate these signals. Through its association with TrkC receptor Sortilin mediates critical cellular responses linked to neurotrophin signaling. The interplay between these proteins allows precise regulation of neuronal activities in various physiological states.
NT-3 and Sortilin have associations with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and metabolic disorders like obesity. Dysregulation of Sortilin can contribute to abnormal NT-3 signaling affecting neuronal homeostasis. The protein also shows links with amyloid precursor protein (APP) in Alzheimer's disease where abnormal interactions may exacerbate disease progression. Understanding the dynamics of Sortilin in these conditions can offer insights into potential therapeutic approaches.
