Sortilin as a marker of atherosclerosis: biological and pathophysiological aspects
https://doi.org/10.18705/1607-419X-2021-27-4-402-408
Abstract
Subclinical atherosclerosis is an independent predictor of increased cardiovascular risk, including patients with hypertension. The article provides an overview of the pathogenetic role in atherogenesis and cardiovascular risk stratification of sortilin peptide which belongs to the family of vacuolar sorting receptors of type I. Circulating sortilin impacts both lipid and non-lipid pathogenetic mechanisms of atherogenesis. It can serve as an early biomarker of cardiovascular risk and a potential therapeutic target for dyslipidemia management and atherosclerosis at subclinical level.
