title: Identification of SorCS2, a novel member of the VPS10 domain containing receptor family, prominently expressed in the developing mouse brain.
abstract: We report the identification of a fourth member of the VPS10 domain containing receptor family, SorCS2, highly expressed in the developing and mature murine central nervous system. During early central nervous system development its main site of expression is the floor plate. In addition, high transcript levels were detected transiently in a variety of brain regions including the dopaminergic midbrain nuclei and the dorsal thalamus. Outside the nervous system expression is detected in lung and heart and transiently in a variety of mesodermally derived tissues.
