Gene Name Protein Name Endosomal Sorting Motif(s) Endosomal Sorting Mechanism(s) References
SORT1 Sortilin YXXφ (YSVL) and dileucine (DDSDEDLI) signals in C-ter region Direct route: GGA-mediated (dileucine); AP-1-mediated (YXXφ).
Indirect route: Clathrin-dependent internalization (YXXφ).
[85,86,87,88,89]
SCARB2 LIMP2 Dileucine signal (DERAPLI) in C-ter region Direct route: AP-1 and AP-3-mediated via the dileucine motif.
Indirect route: minor in some cell types.
[90,91,92,93,94,95]
LDLR LDL (low-density lipoprotein) receptor NPXY signal (NPVY) in the C-ter tail Indirect route: NPXY- and ARH-dependent internalization.
Binding to AP-2 reported.
[96,97,98,99]
LRP1 LDL receptor-related protein 1 YXXφ (YATL), NPXY (NPTY and NPVY), dileucine (DDVGGLL and DEKRELL) signals in C-ter region Indirect route: mediated by YXXφ and dileucine motifs closest to the C-ter end. Minor involvement of the other signals. Binding to AP-2 and clathrin reported. [100,101]
LRP2 Megalin/low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 NPXY signals in the C-ter region Indirect route: NPXY-dependent internalization. Proximal NPXY binds to ARH; distal NPXY binds to Dab2. [102,103,104]
SEZ6L2 Seizure 6-like protein 2/Brain Specific Receptor-like Protein A (BSRP-A) YXXφ (YSPI) and NPXY (NPLY) signals in the C-ter region Direct route: likely YXXφ -mediated; SEZ6L2 detected in AP-1 positive clathrin-coated vesicles.
Indirect route: NPXY- and Dab-2 mediated internalization.

MRC1 Mannose receptor FENTLY in the C-ter domain Indirect route: Transmembrane domain and FENTLY-dependent internalization. [106,107]
