interests = I am interested in the lysosomal enzyme sorting receptors mannose 6-phosphate receptor (Mpr in Dicty) and sortilin (Sort1 in Dicty) and how they contribute to lysosomal storage disease. Furthermore, sortilin is a relatively new discovery and it's wide range of proposed functions is not well studied. More specifically, elucidating how progranulin (Grn in Dicty), prosaposin (AplA/AplG in Dicty), mannose 6-phosphate receptor and sortilin all interact to regulate lysosomal function is a primary interest of mine.
