Human Sorting Nexin 1, SNX1 ELI

Involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking.

Interacts with membranes containing phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns(3P)) or phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(3,5)P2) (PubMed: 12198132).

Acts in part as component of the retromer membrane-deforming SNX-BAR subcomplex.

The SNX-BAR retromer mediates retrograde transport of cargo proteins from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and is involved in endosome-to-plasma membrane transport for cargo protein recycling.

The SNX-BAR subcomplex functions to deform the donor membrane into a tubular profile called endosome-to-TGN transport carrier (ETC) (Probable).

Can sense membrane curvature and has in vitro vesicle-to-membrane remodeling activity (PubMed: 19816406, PubMed: 23085988).

Involved in retrograde endosome-to-TGN transport of lysosomal enzyme receptors (IGF2R, M6PR and SORT1) and Shiginella dysenteria toxin stxB.

Plays a role in targeting ligand-activated EGFR to the lysosomes for degradation after endocytosis from the cell surface and release from the Golgi (PubMed: 12198132, PubMed: 15$498.00|$360.00486, PubMed: 17550970, PubMed: 17101778, PubMed: 18088323, PubMed: 21040701).

Involvement in retromer-independent endocytic trafficking of P2RY1 and lysosomal degradation of protease-activated receptor-1/F2R (PubMed: 16407403, PubMed: 20070609).

Promotes KALRN- and RHOG-dependent but retromer-independent membrane remodeling such as lamellipodium formation; the function is dependent on GEF activity of KALRN (PubMed: 20604901).

Required for endocytosis of DRD5 upon agonist stimulation but not for basal receptor trafficking (PubMed: 23152$498.00|$360.00).
